Darn.  I knew someone would ask that.  :-/

I'm not really sure.  On my machine under the Performance tab of the
System Control Panel, it states that "Some drives are using MS-DOS
compatibility" by the heading File System.

I kind of assumed this meant I was using the old FAT but I don't have
the hardware for my IIgs to check it.

I'll have to try to figure it out and get back to you.
