Hi, all!

I have a LANdisk from Maplins. (Actually, a model NS-347S from A-Tec of
Taiwan, and yes, I have read all the mixed reviews and comments about this
device. So far, it's working well.)

The instruction book includes these words:

"Because LAN Disk has to fulfill [sic] different OS system requirements, it
can only support the FAT32 file system."

I don't understand why this should be so; can anyone enlighten me?

Is this perhaps just a result of the usual assumption that "everyone" uses
W*?

Chris.
