As some of you may know, I'm working on a full FAT32 and IDE =
implementation for either PIC, SX.. or any of the other popular =
microcontrollers (writing in C). Supprisingly, thats the easy bit. So =
fat I am doing directory listings, change directory and read files all =
with about 512bytes of buffer for the disk sector and an additional 40 =
or so for keeping track of fat and partition associated things. I'll be =
starting on writing to files sometime after the Christmas and New Year =
festivities.

Here's the question: How do you- the (potential) users of this project =
want to interface to the filesystem- both in terms of hardware- i2c, =
spi, something else.. and software - functions you would like =
implemented for manipluating the files on the drive.

So far, there's the directory functions- readfirst, readnext, change =
directory
and a couple of file functions spoolfile which just reads the whole =
thing and streams it to your device.. and filesize .. obvious ones I =
havent implemented yet are are seek to position and read a single byte..

Any suggestions much appreciated.=20
