There seems to be a mount protocol problem in the fat driver.  I need to
get in and really understand it, but I'm getting IOCTLs in the wrong
order, and I think the assumptions the fat driver is making are wrong. 
I'm going to take a look at it more over the next few days, but
meanwhile, has anyone successfully tested the floppy driver?  I doubt
it, but different hardware could make the driver respond differently.

I am, in general, interested in debug output, if you happen to get
around to testing.

Thanks.
