Hi Hazen,

On my notebook I have win2k and eCS co-exist, eCS on HPFS and win2k on
FAT32(!!) It works quite well, has full long filename support (much
better thqan fat16!), yet misses some advanced features from NTFS - but
as I use win2k very rarely, i don't care ;-) 
Most importantly, FAT32 has a much faster and more stable IFS support
on the eCS side (by Henk Kelder and soon hopefully enhanced as a
Netlabs project):
