Whatever the other machine will support.

All disk access to a shared drive is handled by the machine that the
drive is physically located in.

For example, even though Windows 98 cannot read or write to NTFS
drives it has no problems whatever accessing NTFS drives over a
network, provided of course that the machine the drive is installed in
can access them.

Hope this explains the situation.

Good luck

That's what I thought, but I appreciate the confirmation.

I guess that's why my Win98SE machine has never had any problem
accessing big drives served via Samba.
