This is drifting off topic, but here goes:

A slightly more unusual permutation is possible with DRDOS.
If you use fdisk 2.02 or higher, it is possible to manually create
different filesystem partitions (although the OS can't read them), in
the special Extended mode.

If you create a SECOND primary partition, DRDOS can see it but windows
can't.  If you made win95 use fat32, you can have two completely
isolated operating systems.
