Hi Massimo,

They work for real for me here, with all of the (writeable) FS
available in eCS-OS/2 -- JFS/HPFS/FAT/FAT32, at least with 2GB
devices, and I don't think size is a factor!
Why don't you do as Ed suggests above, but format the volumes as FAT32
from within DFSee, it's a menu-item nowadays om Version 8.1x

Regards,
Mike
