fat16 had such a limit and was last seen on win95
fat32, introduced in the second win95 service pack (OSR-B) can handle 30 gigs or
so. It can handle larger partitions if you go with a larger than standard
cluster size.
The main problem with windows9x is that it's a complete piece of shit.
I suppose if you only ever ran one application it might remain stable
long enough to author a DVD.
