So this will probably be dying out soon.. :-) I've been working on replacement for the msdosfs, which incorporates VFAT (12- and 16-bit), but not VFAT32, support. I'm hoping this will be released RSN (at least within the next few months). No-one is working on VFAT32 support, AFAIK. I spent a while considering it, before deciding against supporting it. It is really a different filesystem, and not (like VFAT) upward compatible with DOS. If you want to pursue this, you may want to wait for the VFAT code. Alternatively, I'd be happy to swap notes on technical details. -- Robert Nordier
