Stopped in at Staples today and bought a 128 MB Sony thumb drive, on sale for $14.98 after rebate. Plugged into my Dell XP Home computer, booted up on a DOS 7 (Windows 98) floppy, and I now have the functional equivalent of a DOS partition, with the added benefit of portability.

I realize that not all BIOSes will recognize all thumb drives, but this was what I'd call a low-cost experiment, and it works!

Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to pursue this.
