1004051 | 1004051 | The earliest version of FAT, the file system integrated into MS-DOS, is now called FAT12, so-called because each cluster address in the File Allocation Table is 12 bits long. This limits disk size to approximately 32 MB. Extensions to 16- and 32-bit addresses (i.e., FAT16 and FAT32), expand support to 2 GB and 8 TB, respectively.
