All of the FATxx's are supported by enabling the MSDOSFS option in the
kernel (enabled by default). 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.

At present, I believe there is a read-only module for NTFS. See,

http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~markov/ntfs_install.html

These all work on 3.x and 2.2.x.

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