Nope, both programs you mentioned work perfectly with NEWFATFS, they just
do not recognize VFAT entries, but to work this around you don't need
TOSFS, you just disable VFAT. The Diamond Edge additionally does not work
on disks with large clusters (>= 32768 bytes) but this will also fail on
TOSFS.

Next please :)
