VFAT16 is supported for win32 applications, but not for DOS
applications using the INT calls. I have no idea how this really
works, but I guess writing a TSR that intercepts the INT21 extensions
and uses win32 functions to get the data should be relativly easy. The
main advantage is that you don't have to muck with disk access at all
(other than with DOS).
