Seagate is using a FAT32 capable version of FreeDOS, it's not a '32-bit FreeDOS'. It's available for download as their "SeaTools for DOS" at http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=seatooldreg&vgnextoid=480bd20cacdec010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD And in regards to an earlier reply from you, eComStation for all practical purposes "is" OS/2, developed/maintained by a 3rd party company with the blessing and (re)sources of IBM. Haiku on the other side is a complete re-write of a BeOS look/work-alike...
