Known limitations of TrueFFS 5.1.4 tools and BIOS driver
------------------------------------------------------
- When formatting an 8MBytes disk (BDTL) partition, use the native file systems 
  high level format and not the TrueFFS built in FAT formatter.

- Protected partitions must not use the key (password) "00000000" (ASCII 0)

- Unformatting DiskOnChip DIP 576Mbytes is not supported.

- The DiskOnChip BIOS drivers (EXB) will not recognize any disk partitions 
  following another read protected disk partition. This does not apply to any 
  other TrueFFS driver for other operating systems.

- When working with the DiskOnChip BIOS driver (EXB), all no-dos and 
  read-protected partition should be defined as the last partitions 
  of the DiskOnChip.
