One thing I'd like to know is how can you detect a FAT32 drive.
Function 7302h of Interrupt 21h seems to be the starting point, but
the Interrupt List doesn't explicitly tell that it fails for volumes
which are not FAT32, and it also seems to indicate that this function
only works on Windows 95, not in plain DOS 7.

Can you try this?  Thanks.
