One of the first google hits gave me this for fat32:

,-[http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/723781-fat-32-drive-size-limitations.html]
| In Linux the Fat32 has two types; Type b is for Win95 OSR2 Fat32 with a
| partition up to 2047Mb and Type c is for LBA-mapped capable of 2Tb size.
| 
| The type b is for the early Win95 system and type c is for later Win95
| and all Win98.
