Is this still true for 2.1.x? I have just discovered that this out-of-date
DOS device driver that I have disassembled, uses variable sector sizes
depending upon the size of the flashcard used. I.e on this 32K flashcard,
it has a sector size of 32 bytes in DOS 8.3 FAT format. This can vary for
different flashcards up to 4MB in size.
It would make my life a lot easier if I could just read the superblock
from the flashcard and set the VFS's sector size to whatever it is - ie
512/256/128/64/32 byte sector sizes, and then use the MSDOS filesystem
layer with it.
Cheers,
Alex.
