I too don't like proprietary software too much, but FAT is (apart from CD-ROM
filesystem) the only filesystem probably every operating system can easily work
with.
It took quite a long time for (free) Linux to support (free) BSD filesystems.
FAT is a good choice if it shall be possible to read and write with any
computer.
Therefore I would like to have FAT working and stable. I can live without
writing long filenames...
But I really like to implement another file system, if it is suitable to run on
a PIC.

Personally... I have no use for Windows, therefore, I don't care if
Windows machines cannot read/write to other filesystems.
Frankly... I have no need of the write function of the Filesystem
library at all... as I do not plan to write to the harddrives via the PICs.
A read-only filesystem would suffice for my needs.
ISO9660 might be an interesting filesystem to investigate... if it's
open source.
It can support extremely large disks, and can handle long filenames, as
well as large file sizes (using the fragmentation feature... up to 8TB).
Albeit it's a rather clumsy filesystem to write to.
How simple/difficult would it be implement a ISO9660 filesystem on a
hard drive?
