P-MAGIC: how many multi-boot OS's are supported?

i seem to recall that partition magic used to only support 3 systems under its boot loader, and the all had to be fat16 drives... is this still the case? (what i'm referring to is OS's set up so that one OS is the active bootable partition, and the other OS's in the boot loader become hidden...)

I think you mean boot magic. win 9x based OS should be installed on separate primary partitions before the 2 Gb boundary and you can only have 4 primary partitions, so you can install 3 win 9x type OSs + winNT + win 2K + n* ABC linuxes etc..
When booting an OS on a primary partition, boot magic hides other primary partitions.
and now they don't have to be on fat 16.
