All can do read/writes. FreeBSD will determine whether a mounted MSDOS filesystem is 16 or 32 on its own; it is transparent to the user. > NTFS At present, I believe there is a read-only module for NTFS.

IMHO, you are best off with one of the FAT's. I do not believe Win98 can handle NTFS can it? -- Crist J.
