Fw: FAT-FS HD write speed

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Peter,

I must confess that I did not look into the code from Eugeny, 
but at least my driver works totally in polling mode, and I 
think this is a major issue concerning speed.

Yes.

No, my solution is not available in the original source tree, 
and according to recent discussions it would be the better way 
to implement a proper driver based on Eugenys design.
