Brian never backed up a NAM, what is FAT-16 and how do you format it.

Perry,

FAT-16 is the usual format for a 3.5" floppy disk. FAT goes back to the MS-DOS days. When you put a floppy disk in your PC, right click the A: drive in MyComputer and select Properties. It should tell you the file system is FAT. If it's different, then right click the A: drive and select Format. Select FAT for the file system and run the format. Make sure it finishes with zero errors.

Since most drives now use either FAT-32 or NTFS formats I like to identify floppies as FAT-16.
