I knew there was a limit but I had not recalled the BIOS aspect. The idea

FAT16 can handle a 2GB partition (4GB partition can be created with
Microsoft's FORMAT but support seems to be buggy)
The ~500MB limit was actually a 1024 cylinders limit (CHS addressing) with

There a program "Ontrack Disk Manager" that help you to format big

You can left 1 or 2 partitions for DOS (8 Gb each) and the remaining
