[Discussion] FAT file systems

[73357.3046 at compuserve.com]

I must have missed this along the way.  


2 GB USB thumb drive:  Both MAC OS X and eCS report the file system being used on the drive as 'FAT'.  On the MAC I can write and read files with long file names.  But on the eCS machine, all the file names are 8.3 and that's all it will write or read.  Isn't there some way to have eCS handle the long file names properly ?


And a related question:  How do you get eCS to format a drive to FAT 32 ?  I see nothing about FAT 32 in any of the documentation I've read.  (Or FAT 16 for that matter.  It mentions only 'FAT'.)  There must be a way.


Many thanks


Stratton
