I (Tristan) can tell you that I have tried to read my MSX harddisk 
, which is formatted with novaxis 1.51 utilities, on an MS-DOS and 
Win95 pc. Without success. The PC hangs on the Novaxis 
partitiontable, if I use NOVAXTAB.BAS (which converts to a 
bug-free partition table) it works, but then I cannot read files that 
are longer than one cluster because of MS-DOS stupidity (it cannot 
correctly handle 32mbyte FAT-12 partitions).
