Getting started with FAT Filesystem on SD/MMC cards over SPI

[Gene Smith]

What you are talking about here my h/w does and it is something I need 
to do too. However, at this point I don't have a clue how. So a "HowTo" 
would be most appreciated and I could contribute what I learn.

All I have worked with is the IMFS in a simple way.
