Chris,
A mod of your suggestion did the trick. I was unable to finally
"chown Michael /mydos" and then change permissions using chmod. Seems
pretty simple but kinda strange that as root I could not change the
permissions.
Thanks to you and Jerry for all the help!

Well, there it is. I think users who want to write to this filesystem
need to have write permission on the mountpoint. How about creating a
group, perhaps "users", of which all users are members, then chown
root:users /mydos, then chmod 775 /mydos

OK, I've scoured the archives for an answer with no results. I'm
sharing a FAT32 partition between XP and 6.2 Release. The problem
is I can mount the drive but only root can write to it (users can
just read). I have the following in fstab:
/dev/asd42 /mydos msdosfs rw 0 0
I've tried adding the -u or -g option with no luck. I understand
that since FAT has no inherent permissions chmod has no effect
either (tried it just to be sure) so it must be set from fstab. Any
help?
What are the owner and permissions on the mount point (/mydos)?
