As usual, there are exceptions.  I had to keep DOS 6.22 (primary
only), Win95 (another C:),  Win98 (that's 3), NT 4 (can be logical,
fortunately), and OS/2 (just to get something useful done) all
installed at the same time while testing a client's program.  If you
include boot manager, that's 4 primaries (DOS, 95, 98, and BM) on drive
0 with NT and OS/2 on drive 1 logical drives.  When I got done I
deleted W95 and moved the NTand OS/2 back to drive 0, but there are
reasons to use all sorts of odd-ball setups.  Looking back, it would
have been simpler to just set up another box but hindsight...
