Check into this more.  The dosFs2 does support FAT (12 bit), FAT16 and
FAT32.  However, further research shows that W2K does some strange things
with FAT32 format.  Win98 is supposed to do what we need, but this is
unproved yet.

It seems that VxWorks only support DosFS, which is FAT instead of FAT32

vxWorks gurs,

I have a need to exchange data between a PPC 7400 (DY4 svme179) and a PC
(Windows2000).  The disk is a 72 Gig Seagate ST373405LW.  I cannot read the
format (FAT32, 32 Gig) that windows generates on the PPC and I cannot read
the 72 Gig FAT32 format that vxWorks generates on the W2K machine.

I am using dosFs2, vxWorks 5.4.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.
