Actually better, when fully enabled, excepting it doesn't understand EAs 
besides preserve them when moving a file. Also uses EAs for symlink and 
permissions so is actually compatible with OS/2+klibc
Ubuntu here seems to see HPFS fine but has problems writing to it and 
always leaves the disk dirty.
I used to have a DOS HPFS driver installed under Win9x, worked fairly 
well. Tried pinball.sys under Win2k, which worked well until I fed it a 
drive bigger then 4.3GBs, and then it erased the root directory or 
something similar. chkdsk /f:3 brought it mostly back.
