Yuck, triple yuck!
Now, may I propose that someone who knows the ins and outs of the new fs stuff does the required surgery to produce "clean" non-translating FAT support? Whether we like it or not, for some poor people DOS floppies are likely to be the only "reasonable" way to transport "large" (ahem) files between home and the office. Never mind the translation, but at least get the channel working again. And then simply forget about the translation for ever after...
Keep up the good work,
