How recent a version of Dos ?



My cd44-y70 Aptiva 486dx-50mhz [S/N: 9008794]  came with 270mb 
hard drive which I soon filled.  When I soon sort another HD installed, 
was looking for *Gb, however heard there was a limit to the 531,024 HD 
it says is there now.


Does this limit actually exist for my pc, or, was it yet another of lifes 
examples that left hand does not always know what right does :-(



As looking to soon install another HD - if cannot $ another pc, I look 
forward to this and any related information with interest.



regards,  Paul.
