Yes, Microsoft has made a few enhancements: • FAT-32 filesystem which has the following features: • Default cluster size of 4k bytes for drives up to 8 GB. • Supports drives up to 2 Terrabytes (2048 GB). • Will only install on drives > 512 MB. • Can use the “backup” copy of the FAT if needed. • Is ONLY accessible from Windows 95 OSR2. (Not supported by Windows NT) • CDFS (ISO-9660) enhancements. • Drive Power Management. • 120 MB floptical support. • The mini-port driver for the Adaptec 2940xx (\windows\system\iosubsys\aic78xx.mpd) is updated. In the retail version of Windows 95 there are problems with the Microsoft supplied driver. If the above mentioned file is older than April ’96, you need a new one. The updated driver is also available from http://www.adaptec.com/. For more information, see the Win95 OSR2 FAQ.
