Hi Keven!

Actually FAT16 and FAT32 only refer to the file system.  32bit and 16bit
programs run fine together under both Win95 and Win98, with either FAT16 or
FAT 32.  I do it all the time.  :)

For the record, I prefer FAT32 file systems.

Cheers!

Mark,

I don't know if you got any input on this so I hope I am not repeating whay
you may already know:

With the 32 bit system, If you are using ACE you can't run WinAmp with the
ACE-32 obviously.  Also you can't run 32 bit apps obviously on the FAT16
machines.  I would recommend installing win95 ver b to bring everything up
to FAT32 of course you would have to reformat hard drives!

Also I just ran into this the other day.  I am using windows 3.1 for
workgroups on a touchscreen and needed to transfer files.  I wanted to use
the Dos programs intersvr.exe and interlnk.exe.  They are great but you
cannot link a FAT32 and FAT16 machine together this way.  Just a trivial
matter though.  I had to revive an old 486 that was almost dead but I got it
going.

This may or may not have helped....

Kevin
