I'm still at a loss as to why you are all ignoring the free, open source, FastFAT driver in the Microsoft WDK.

Hi James,
Welcome to the team! ReactOS kernel aims to be compatible with W2k3's, meanwhile Win32 subsystem aims atm Vista. You'll come across missing stuff, just search for UNIMPLEMENTED throughout the code. Encoded started a page with missing functionality here:http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Missing_ReactOS_Functionality Hope you have fun with ReactOS as much as we do...

Hi Everyone,
I just thought I'd introduce myself. I am the author of a new FAT implementation that was really designed for embedded systems. As
such
it provides very good performance. (See www.fullfat-fs.co.uk).
Fireball contacted me a few days ago to discuss the current development of FullFAT, and since I have agreed to implement an IFS driver based on FullFAT with a view to replacing the current fastfat.sys implementation. During the conversation we also
discussed
implementing a special journaling extension to FullFAT via the
windows
driver.
I hope to start work on this project in the next few weeks, and further to this I would also like to help in some other areas of ReactOS. I shall be taking a closer look at the ReactOS code over
the
coming weeks, and will probably post some questions about various aspects. I have just bought the Windows Internals, fifth edition co-authored by Alex Ionescu, hopefully this will provide me with a good overview of the Windows architecture etc.
For complete Windows XP compatibility, just how much of the implementation is currently missing from ReactOS?
Nice to meet you all, and I hope to provide some good
contributions to
ReactOS in the near future.
James
