What File System Type does COBRA Support?

COBRA Firing Systems File System Support

COBRA's 18R2, Audio Box, 36M Firing Module, and 72M Firing Module are designed to work with the legacy MS-DOS FAT32 file system. This compatibility ensures reliable and accessible file handling for your firing system components. COBRA does not currently support any device partitioning or alternative file format types.
