What's wrong with going "sys c:" if you forget the /s ?

Just found out, and remembered I'd forgotten, about primary partitions and
logical drives.  So I'm now planning on having the IDE drive with 1 meg for
boot manager, and 199 meg for FAT (DOS primary partition).

Then the SCSI drive have 250 meg logical FAT, 500 meg logical HPFS, 250 meg
logical HPFS.

Brenton + Rod: can I access the 250 meg FAT partition on my SCSI drive from
REAL MSDOS?  Do I need the drivers that come with the kit after all? Using
MSDOS 5.0.  BFN.
