I am not really an expert on this subject, but I have heard
that enabling FAT 32 in WIN 95 OSR2 can cause all kinds of
strange problems in certain applications. If you are not
too pressed for hard drive space, you might consider
switching over to FAT 16, and partitioning the 4GB hard
drive into two 2GB partitions, one of which is the boot
drive.

I hope to have my Cyrix MMX-200 with 64 MB RAM by next
week. Will advise how it works.
