Hi,
Yes, this is what I am saying. It was used in DOS/Windows 3.1, then in
Windows 95 before the second edition of Windows 95 came out, the main
benefit of this was the supporting of FAT32 - this happened around 1997
I think.=20
Some people say that FAT is more stable, as Microsoft just cludged FAT32
to get extra disk space available, FAT32 is extreemly inefficient (more
so than FAT) when you go over 10 gb.
