about fat32 testing: I believe a working DOSFSCK 2.10 just what is needed (not what is whished for).
Actually, I agree! If Eric can say "FreeDOS SMARTDRV is LBACACHE", why not say "FreeDOS SCANDISK is DOSFSCK"? ;-) DOSFSCK is not a SCANDISK, but neither is LBACACHE a SMARTDRV!
As for 386 and memory requirements, we made some calculations here some time ago that 1) machines below 386 are not hardware compatible with disk worth using fat32, 2) due to bios limitations and machine evolution, if a bigger disk is possible then memory is almest often available.
True, but there are exceptions: (1) 8-bit ISA add-on IDE cards with own ROM BIOS supporting modern IDE drives even on an XT; (2) 80186-compatible embedded controllers with a PCMCIA socket that can take CompactFlash cards up to 4 GB like Vadem/Amphus VG230 and VG330. Of course, these exceptions only confirm the rule that you state above ;-)
