Hi folks,
if You happen to need access to a FAT32 drive You can use the drfat32
drivers. I tested with OpenDOS 7.01 and I think they'll work with other
DOSes, too. Of course, You have to take care with the LFN when accessing
the drive. Use NC 5.5 or similiar stuff, 'cuz the plain DOS won't
support them.
Regards Joerg
