I had forgotten that I also used Partition Magic
to create FAT32. Although I did have OSR2. I
guess I wasn't sure if it would have worked with
the original win95.
My 365XD has the original win95 and I think I
rememeber that I tried and succeded in turning
that to a FAT32 drive with PM. I'm not totally
sure. I know I didn't leave it that way since I
use 2 old programs that won't run in FAT32 and I
don't want to partition the 2.1 gig drive.
