A new Flexible FAT16 driver released

[Imanjl]

They are so many posts here about fat16 driver and MMC card but still many people having problem about fat16 implementaion on PIC .

A new website recently releases a new driver for fat16,although it was done by other companies before but this driver has some unique features and well documented. Hope that it helps someone .

there is an examples here : (for more info click the link above)

You might want to check out my FAT implementation. It supports FAT12/FAT16/FAT32 plus directories, more file primitives test code etc

Also when it comes to FAT file systems you may consider a
stand alone chip.

Hijack the thread ?

Your initial post is in violation of the forum rules, which say:

[Douglas Kennedy]

Well when it comes to forum violations it appears Imanjl was first and asmallri second. Many in the US believe FAT12/16/32 is owned by Microsoft and new files or formatting can only be written especially in a commercial product with their legal permission.
If this advice is correct then not only may have Imanjl and asmallri crossed the line on forum rules but they may have crossed the line on ownership laws if they don't have a license from Microsoft. If the product code that writes and formats FAT was given away at no cost there could still possibly be a legal issue. Buying a potentially illegal product from offshore vendors doesn't relieve a US citizen from strict compliance with US laws. US law is extraterritorial and requires compliance of all US citizens where ever they may be residing or whatever they may be doing.

But asmallri usually mentions his site incidentally, as a sigline.
He doesn't start threads to promote his product. He also
contributes to the forum with a high level of knowledge.

I understand the desire not to write tickets but technically the forum rules don't say that if you contribute alot then they don't apply to you. Yes I know the Pope could probably get away with speeding to Sunday Mass because

1) he is the Pope and
2) has contributed to a lot of Sunday Masses
but technically speaking speeding is speeding.

Oh and btw,

the word that appeared as spam in my previous reply is actually a_d_v_e_r_t_i_s_i_n_g without underline!!!

PEACE,

follow-up:

Microsoft was granted a patent for double-clicking and long-pressing on 27th April 2004. The patent in question is 6,727,830 and says, amongst other stuff: 'A default function for an application is launched if the button is pressed for a short, i.e., normal, period of time. An alternative function of the application is launched if the button is pressed for a long, (e.g., at least one second), period of time. Still another function can be launched if the application button is pressed multiple times within a short period of time, e.g., double click'

I am using these features in commercial products of my company, especially the 'long press' feature is used to get into the setup menu. In most cases a numeric-value-setting routine switches to fast-forward when the UP or DOWN buttons are pressed for long time. I see this not only in my products, but in many-many other devices in the industry. It became a long-long time ago a 'standard'.

I remember many digital watches (since the 70s) in the time setting mode to switch to fast-forward mode after the setting button is held down for more then a certain time. How can it happen, Microsoft can be granted a patent for this nowadays ?
