Yes it does, but CrossDOS doesn't, which makes the point moot.
I think you'd also need to get the partition formatted as W95 with long
filenames, which would be a problem (NetBSD can't do it (no
newfs_msdos), CrossDOS can't do it (again no long filename support), and
W95 can't (woulnd't see the partition on a RDB partitioned disk).
