i saw this site of a computer vendor http://www.atipa.com/SystemBuilder,
who is offering Win95 with FAT32 installed with their system.
i didnt know FAT32 was out yet. has anyone else seen ads
for FAT32 ?

FAT32 is available on virtually every new computer bought with Windows 95
now. It is part of the OEM Service Release 2 which came out last fall.
You should be able to get it no matter which computer you buy (unless it
has been on a shelf a long time).

Even though all new machines are loaded with Win95 SR2, most are still
running FAT16. If you want FAT32 often you'll have to reformat the drive
and specify that you want FAT32 format. This is most likely done to
maintain ease of use for the standard consumer, yet the power user has the
option of FAT32.

Use PartitionMagic3.0 to convert FAT to FAT32, it will not destroy any
data.
