I DISTINCTLY recall having a disk when I was a teenager that extended FAT32 support to DOS 6.22. Is this real or an alien implant?

MS-DOS 7.1 (from Windows 98) was the first official MS-DOS version to support FAT32 (out of the box).
As far as I know the only existing solution for FAT32 support on MS-DOS pre-7.1 is using DRFAT32, which is a part of DR-DOS. However from what I understand that implementation is buggy (although maybe it improved in later versions of DR-DOS?). Also DRFAT32 only allows file-level access to existing FAT32 partitions, it does not add the ability to manage FAT32 partitions or format them.
