Yes, for me, FAT access would actually be a killer app: first, accessing
files written by digital cameras would rock (e.g. having a preview
application or being able to mail/fax/whatever), and second, managing
MP3 files though a laptop/desktop and then playing them on the Newton
would definitely be nice.
The FAT support doesn't have to be fancy at all, for most applications,
the limitations MS-DOS 2.11 had (no subdirectories and a limited number
of files in the main directory) would be ok.

I'd definitely be interested in taking a look at FAT support. Still have
to complete MAD and Raissa before though... ;)
