Good to hear.

According to my understanding, MS-DOS 7.10+ disables FCB I/O on FAT32 FS. I did not test that yet but the interrupt list hints at this. Perhaps it would work better on a FAT12 or FAT16 FS?

I did not test this yet. I may get around to it within the week, though I would first test it in dosemu2 (MFS-redirected DOS drives). That may yield a different result than operating on a (to DOS) local FAT FS.

I found three FreeDOS bugs in the FCB directory search support while considering your post, though: https://github.com/FDOS/kernel/issues/112
