While replacing the headlight yesterday (which is to say, while watching John replace the headlight for me <:) ) my mum noticed that the transmission coolant hose to the radiator was right up against the edge of the fan. In fact, once we looked at it closely, we could see that the fan has been… Read more
I’ve added FAT16 support to my driver. It was as expected a pretty trivial change, since the only real difference is the size of FAT entries and the location (and size) of the root directory.
