It doesn't affect server volumes. You access them through Appletalk Filing
Protocol (AFP). That's why I can log onto my Mac and access its 2 gig hard
disk while in ProDOS BASIC. That's also why you don't have to worry about
forked files on server volumes as well.
The problem with the FST results mainly from trying to use whopper HFS volumes.
The concensus is there is no worry if you don't go over 100 mb per volume.
There should be no problem with floppy disks.
