Greetings:

We need to migrate some FAT16 filesystems that use mixed
case 8.3 names to a *nix or win32 platform; directory entries
may also include win32 longnames in slots above the 8.3
name. All the flavors of DOS and win32 I've tried choke on
the directories (suprisingly win2k 'chkdsk' reports no errors
and the correct number of files and directories but the
filesystem is unreadable).

Did you try the msdos/fat filesystems support in Linux mount? Or its
mtools utilities?

I'd appreciate product or file system driver recommendations.
