#92064 - FAT might be overkill...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
...but the availability of existing implementations of FAT for 8051 based devices might turn out to be pretty useful, if you can tolerate its overhead. I don't know what your application is, but it also might additionally be useful for both service and debugging purposes to be able to pop the CF card into a PC and see what it contains without any special software. Using FAT would certainly make that possible.

You might want to have a look at Atmel's AT89DVK-04. Although it might seem a bit far-fetched at first, the reference firmware that comes with this includes an implementation of FAT.
