yes, NetBSD has a MS-DOS file system.  apparently, it even works
properly on big-endian machines.

"bzzzt."  just because the file system is closer to the UFS, in terms
of stuff like naming, doesn't mean that it will be any easier to
implement.

In fact, i'd rate HFS a fair bit harder...  (for info on why, go pick
up Inside Mac, or whatever they're calling the N-volume-set these days.)
