How you can have images larger than 500 MB in official DOSBox:
- Create one with BxImage.
The geometry values have to be recalculated:
Cylinders maxes out at 1024 for DOSBox, however heads can be up to 256.
BxImage will suggest a cylinders value above 1024, so divide cylinders by 2 and multiply heads with 2. Cylinders still bigger than 1024? Do it again and again. You'll get up to about 8 gigs with that.
Example:
From BxImage: -size 512,63,16,1422
Recalculated: -size 512,63,32,711
1+1=10
