At the moment, FreeDOS only supports 512 bytes. I know of

Why test another function (which is really undocumented at that, so
unlikely to be implemented properly in other DOS versions) to determine
whether function 7303h is sup

That is
t might be of interest to someone beginning to use
assembler. I would stay away from the 1st edition: there were several
significant errors.

I think DJGPP does (try to) use int 21h, 7303h sometimes, but modern
NT-based Windows (XP etc.)

I am possibly going to rewrite my df utility to work with freeDOS' FAT32
filesystem (DJGPP uses int21h function 36h which is 16-bit FAT16 and 16-bit
regs).
I cannot find any documentation on the functions that freedos uses for its
filesystem functions, like getting filesystem volume space calcu
