I find this hard to believe. OS/2 1.2 and 1.3 support multiple disk partitions
(like DOS), and any partition can be FAT or HPFS. The HPFS partitions aren't
limited to 32MB. I have heard nothing to suggest that OS/2 2.x won't support
FAT too (and find it highly improbable that FAT won't be supported).
