I am using the OS/2 VFAT drivers to access a WinNT VFAT drive.  Also
using the pinball.sys on WinNT to access my OS/2 HPFS drives.  My common
files (PMMail and others) live on drive E which is HPFS.  WinNT and OS/2
both work well with this arrangement.

I have noticed that accessing my VFAT drive from OS/2 is slightly slower
than accessing native OS/2 HPFS drives; maybe a second slower than a HPFS
drive of similar content.  I have not noticed a similar lag when using
WinNT to access the HPFS drives.

Note that I am using the VFAT driver to access a VFAT drive, not a FAT32
drive.
