    You really think you could write a FAT32 implementation yourself, from scratch - working straight from the specifications?!

    Go for whichever already has an MSP430 port...

    Depends on what your end goal is. If it is to have a working FAT32 implementation for a product, then a library might be a better way to go. If your goal is to learn about FAT32 on SD-Card, then certainly writing one is best way to learn (but browsing other code is useful as learning too).

    That's pretty arrogant. If there are working FAT32 implementations, then it can certainly be done, and I don't see anything that suggests the OP can't program.

    Well, don't you agree that someone who is capable of doing this job would be able to answer the initial question by himself? I agree that it sounded a little bit rude, but that's Andy: telling people to consider their limitations before starting projects they might not be able to complete. Saves their time - and ours :)
