DOS ain't dead

Can FreeDos handle 16 TeraByte disks ?

Can I write 64 Bit Register Instructions to run under FreeDos ?

I want to write some stuff that will allow me to access specific disk sectors.

In my case I want to verify that the sectors actually exist.

e.g.,

- Read "N" bytes of data at disk sector XYZ
- Write a different string of "N" bytes back onto sector XYZ
- Read that same data from that same sector back into a different buffer
- Compare the two
- If good, put the original data back into its place
- (Else, If Bad, worry about that later)
- Repeat this process for higher and higher disk sectors
