FAT filesystem

[peter at zeecube.com (Peter Shoebridge)]

Erik,

I wrote the filesystem in isolation from any OS, and right now it implements
open/read/seek/close etc. It may not be too much trouble to integrate, but
I'm not yet familiar with the IMFS stuff. I have the doc and have read
through it once but I'm still struggling to get the latest snapshot to
build. I hope to sort that tonight and start integrating this week.

I could tar up the files for you to look at but it might be quicker if I
start and give you something to follow, unless you're particularly familiar
with the IMFS code.

Thanks

Peter
