Yes once DOSFS has claimed the partition, FileCore is no longer
involved. FileSwitch calls DOSFS via the image file mechanism passing
the file handle of the partition file and DOSFS reads data from this
file handle via standard OS calls.

True, but it is well possible that it relies on 32-bit byte addressing
a lot internally, which is limited to 4GB, so it might not be
straightforward to change it.
