I own such a Quantum fireball 3.2 GB and I can say that it works. 
First I had problems (computer hanged) to  create a large (1GB) DOSen
 partition with the !PCx86 config application, but when disabling the
 automatic initialization of the partition, it worked successful. You must 
then format the partition under DOSe with the command >format d:< 
 if d ist your created partition. 
A friend of mine bought the larger fireball 3.8 GB and he said that 
it works fine with his RPC.

Hope this helps.
