Ya, it's possible but I haven't had interest in fat16. It is difficult
these days to format something with fat16. Windows XP does format
fat16, but it is hidden. I don't think long file names are not
supported in fat16. I guess I just don't have much interest in fat16
because of this.

I once asked you guys if I should make two fat32 libraries. One small
version, and one big one with features. You guys said to put constants
in the lib, but this didn't work out so well. I could add one main
constant for two totally separate sets of procedures.

If you want a small library, you loose many features:
You will not be able to read fragmented files (this could be optional
I guess)
You will not be able to create file names or allocate space for files.
In order to do this, you need a 512 byte buffer to write to the fat.
You may want short file names. A mp3 (in my case) uses about 100 chars
for it's file name. Max file name size in win xp is 256bytes

Why not just use sd_card lib directly if you want a small library?

Matt.
