This is a consequence of a buggy overflow check.
Internally, MS-DOS uses logical block addressing to access file systems. Since version 4.0, MS-DOS uses 32 bits for sector addresses in order to support disks larger than 32 MiB (i.e. than 65536 sectors). To ensure all sectors are addressable with 32 bits, MS-DOS tries to compute the address of the last ...

You may want to browse through the Rosettacode selection. There is a Pascal version, but no Basic version specific for MS DOS.
