Yes all FAT partitions EXCEPT PRIMARY C BOOT PARTITIONS as
defined in Boot Manager are visible to all OS's.  If you're
running Win95 (or WinNT as I am) and OS/2 via boot manager,
I'd advise not letting Win95 (or NT) write all over your
OS/2 FAT with its long-filename kludge.  Boot Manager gives
you a way of keeping each respective C primary partition
invisible to the "other" OS by defining 'em both as primary
C drive boot partitions in Boot Manager.
