Mounting 80Gb USB disk with FAT32 filsystem

Hi.

FAT32 is supported on Solaris 9. I have an external USB enclosure with
a 80 IDE disk in it. I have tried a lot of options but without success
so far. I cannot mount the FAT32 (pcfs) filesystem with the 'mount -F pcfs ...'
command. I have read the man pages without finding clues to why I cannot do
this. I get an 'I/O error' when trying to do so.

I can successfully create UFS filesystem(s) on the disk and mount them.
The device itself is nicely recognized through 'scsa2usb' as the devices
/dev/(r)dsk/c2t0d0s*.

Have anyone successfully accomplished this?
