FAT

Hello All,

Can you suggest a _good_ realization of the embedded FAT16 _and_ FAT32 
filesystem driver in C or C++? It is intended mainly for the flash 
memory cards. The preference is maximum performance, portability, 
flexible configuration, static memory allocation and full compatibility 
to the MS spec. Intelligent caching of FAT would be the strong plus.

I came through several realizations, and that only strengthened my firm 
belief that free and opensource is incompatible with quality and 
professionalism. So, if you have a good driver, I would like to buy it. 
The contact is at the web site below.

Don't Segger emfile do something like that i.e. source code for file 
systems.

Personally, I used one of the free, unprofessional, poor quality versions. 
Unfortunately it has failed to go wrong, so far. I did modify the copde to 
perform some extras that I needed. The code and docs seemed eas enough to 
understand. However, the code was designed for small footprint rather than 
high performance, so it doesn't cache ;-(

Does that statement also count for the code you are offering for free
download from you web page?
