- Allow for a 384KB FAT filesystem - Allow for a 384KB FAT filesystem
**NOTE:** RomWBW is not limited to these partition table entries. You
can change the size and location of the RomWBW and/or FAT partitions to
increase/decrease the number of slices or FAT filesystem size. Doing
so would require using `FDISK80` to define your own custom disk layout
and initializing your filesystems manually.
The standard partition table table entries are:
