According to http://home.no.net/tkos/info/fat.html, it's a new addition with VFAT. Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFAT) doesn't say anything, but seems in general relatively silent about FAT versions in the description of the directory entries. There might also be useful information in the FAT specification at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/fatgen.mspx but it seems to me that you'll need to have your IP laywers go over their very weird download license a few time before you can know if it's dangerous to read or not :-( In any case, adate clearly didn't exist in older DOS versions, so there are cases where you don't want to touch adate. An in all these, it should always be correct to set noatime.
