Hi Gus
Actually having fat32 is OK, its just that for our particular 
embedded application we will NEVER exceed something like 100Mbyte. 
If my understanding is correct then fat16 can handle this ok.
We also do not need to support long filenames as this is an embedded 
product.
The only time we need to interface to the PC is when we upload the 
data onto the flash card at production, or during inservice product 
upgrades.

If you could point me to a website or similar for info on the system 
you have then that would be great.

We will be starting to lay out PCB out shortly for the main 
controller and as such we may not need to get the board you have - 
so is just the source code available to purchase for fat file system 
and interface to a compact flash card?

thanks for your help,
rgds
pete
