Nope. Plain vanilla FAT, as in Mess-DOS, is neither case sensitive nor
case preserving. Everything gets turned to upper case. COMMAND.COM,
the Mess-DOS shell, will upper case file names for you, so you can
type in file names in lower case. But it's all upper case on the disk.
VFAT (W95 & up, NT4 & up) is case preserving and case insensitive
(case rude?). If VFAT will serve your purpose, use it.
