I have a machine here on my desk with a 2G FAT filesystem. It is definately *not* VFAT32. I don't feel like using a beta filesystem on my work machine today ;-). The machine is running Win95 golden and works fine. Probably horribly wasteful of disk space... I didn't read the original post but was it something about the filesystem appearing corrupt from FreeBSD? If so, that is was I am seeing for this filesystem. I didn't particularly want to access it from FreeBSD, so I ignored it. -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd.
