Here's what the text at the device drive repository says:

This package contains updates to the support in FP35 and FP6, extending
support to fixed Enhanced IDE drives greater than 8.4GB, fixing some
prob-
lems, and adding additional documentation on removable media support. If
you install or have installed fixpaks newer than FP42 or FP12 then this
package is not required. FixPak 35 (FP35) for Warp 3 and FixPak 6 (FP6)
for
Warp 4 extended support for fixed Enhanced IDE drives to sizes up to
8.4GB
and added new caching HPFS and FAT file system support for removable
media
drives such as SCSI Syquest Syjet 1.5GB portable hard drive and the
Iomega
jaz 1GB and 2GB personal hard drives.
