Can Fastecho play nice with Win7 and NTFS formatted discs?

as long as your Win7 can run DOS programs, it should be fine... the underlying disk format doesn't come into play... that's all transparent to most programs... just don't try to use long file names... 8.3 is still the restriction ;)

I figured I keep Win7 as 32bit to be on the safe side as well.

Thanks Mark and Paul for your comments / help ;)

FWIW Paul, I run FastEcho here under windows 7 32 bit with no problems at all.
It's been rock solid for me.
