I've been running 1.2 for about 4 months or so, HPFS is a very much faster
than FAT. And yes it's still case insensitive, probably 2.0 for that.
The only drawback, and it's really no problem, it to do a proper shutdown
of the system, lest ye croupt it.
Like I've told others that have asked me,I droped th DOS box many months
ago(just takes up memory), and don't really see the need for it,
at least for me.
