I have been using the Fat32 drivers from Hank Kelder for a long time now, and
they offer full read/write access. The drawback is you need Windows Scandisk to
fix problems that arise.

That said, the only time I have trouble is when I sometimes write to the drive
using Win2K. It seems okay unitl I get back into Warp, and then find that the
FAT tables are messed up, and so I have to go back to windows and scandisk to
fix it. Probably could just boot a windows floppy or custom CD to scandisk if
you don't have windows, or don't want that virus-infected piece of crap on your
machine.

I tried the NTFS drivers. They are read only, and I just didn't get any good
karma about them, so I gave it up.
