FAT-12? Shesh. You know, I wonder why a more reasonable filesystem format
can't be found for things like this. I mean, it doesn't have to be fancy
(I've often thought that a simple extent-based filesystem with an extent-
based directory structure would be sufficient for, e.g., 9fat), but it doesn't
have to be FAT, either.
