CrossDos was the old 8.3 Filing System for reading 720K floppies (well, mostly). All storage devices on computers (USB sticks, floppies, CDs, and Harddrives) store their data in an organized manner. Different computer developers came up with different ways to do this. Apple made HFS, Microsoft FAT, Commodore-Amiga FFS, CDROMs originally used the 8.3 ISO-9660, but Apple Macintosh' prefer HFS CDs and Windows' uses Joliet to extend the filenames and Unix uses ?RockRidge?, the purpose of all of those three solutions is to have more than 12 file characters available. The Amiga is capable of reading all of those filing systems in a very easy to manipulate manner. (By the same token there is sofwtare for Windows which allows you to read Macintosh disks and vice versa. But it is less, well, elegant frankly.) Fat95 is this elegance in practice for reading all kinds of Windows formatted diskettes.
