Re: Fat 16 & Fat32

I run TS4 on a PII 300 using Fat32.  I have not had a problem yet.  It works
fine with my old tape backup and my antivirus program.

The major difference I have noticed is I have more space on my Hard drive
because Fat32 is more efficient then Fat16.

One problem with Fat32 is Win95 (B or OSR2) is the only OS that supports it.
(except for some of the OS2 Warp versions, I think).
