Better FAT reading

I’ve finally gotten back to working on the FAT driver for ENP, and I’ve made pretty good progress in the short time I’ve been working on it. Previously I was only reading the first block of a directory entry, because I wasn’t then moving to the next block. I also didn’t have any code to… Read more
