    From Folderol@21:1/5 to All on Sun Sep 5 18:01:53 2021
    Can anyone tell me what formats are supported?
    I plugged in one that I though was just FAT, and it seemed to mount OK but as soon as I tried to open it RISC OS crashed.

    This was on a Raspberry Pi B3 running RISC OS Direct

    Were you relying on DOSFS with its known shortcomings, or did you have
    Fat32fs active?

    Ummm. I don't know. I've been away from RISC OS for a long time, and am pretty rusty now. It's scary how much I've forgotten :(
