      The question is whether or not msdosfs properly supports FAT16 or  
 not, because that's what disks were formatted with under MSDOS 4.0 -  
 6.22. What happened when you converted the disk via Win2k is that the  
 machine converted the filesystem to FAT32, which is a completely  
 different system from FAT16, and which is guaranteed to be supported  
 with FreeBSD and msdosfs.
 HTH,
