(Fwd) Re: DOSFS bug fixes, IDE drivers and sample released

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi,

sorry for the LATE reply.

Yes now I am sure that DOSFS (in the current version) properly 
translates filenames into upper case. This is done in the 
function "msdos_format_name" in msdos_misc.c.

So Filenames are stored in uppercase on disk, and they are 
converted to upper case before getting compared.

wkr,
	Thomas.
