Root Directory Limitations
Speaking of zip drive oddities, I haven't had a chance to test this for a mac, however I do recall that Win based zip disks have a limit to the number of files that can be in the root directory. It was odd to see your zip drive full with less than 10 mb on it. Moving the files to a folder allowed me to fill it. I wonder if this limitation also is on DOS formatted Zip disks used on a mac.
Root Directory Limitations
The limit to the number of files in the root directory goes all the way back to DOS on the PCs. If I remember correctly, originally, DOS (or more precisely, FAT) wouldn't allow more than 128 entries in the root directory. It was actually less once you accounted for the volume name and such.
Root Directory Limitations
The limit was 'removed' with FAT32 (available in Win95 OSR2, Win98 and all newer versions). |
