Hi Mark,

Reading up on the UDF spec recently, I noted that the specification also 
covers *hard-disks* not just removable media optical drives. There is no 
2TB limitation on the maximum size of UDF-formatted disks either.  So 
when are there going to be drivers provided for UDF-HDs for use with 
OS/2-eCS? It would seem as it's the "universal" disk format that it's 
about time to start using it!
