OSR2 (win95B) can have partitions up to 2 terabytes and uses 4k clusters
for partitions up to 8GB.

Neal,
Fat32 do indeed format larger than 2gig. 950b or OEMSR2 as it is
called comes with a fat32 converter that will reformat fat16 patitions
with-out destroying data. There are however some in compat. probs with
some disk-util progarms and fat 32. Also I have heard that there are
still some probs with anti-virus programs also. I guess about any
program that access disk independent of OS may cause problem *** So be
sure the progs you are running are compatable first.
