Hi,

im just a user of the freedos project, so i have no authority in this, but:

FAT implementions arent "just swappable" - they are more a adapter between
the OS interface (FCBs/DOS 2.0 file descriptors in FreeDOS) and the
blockdev driver.

The petit-fat library can only open one file at the time - it doesnt have
state that is scoped per opened file, thus its gonna be fairly difficult
to translate the FreeDOS syscalls into calls for petit-fat.

That petit-fat doesn't support multiple drives or multiple opened files is
also the reason why its small - if someone added these features to it, we
would probably end up with something similar than what the FreeDOS kernel
currently has.

With regards,
Nero
