I have the Plus Hardcard 40 software, which is most likely the same 
stuff.  But if you've got it up and running, and you can see all 20MB, 
you don't need the software.

If it's the only drive in the system, and the system is 8088 or 8086, 
yes.  3.3 supports up to 32MB per partition, and if you are on an 808x 
you don't need the HMA/UMB/memory stuff of 5 and later.
