Perhaps somewhere deep down, but I doubt it...

Probably. Real FAT support would require reading sector-wise from the
actual hard disk, and I don't think that the NCU would allow the Newton
to do that. But I'd be more than glad to learn the opposite!
BTW, a starting point for FAT support could be either FreeDOS or FreeBSD
or something like the PJRC MP3 player project for the 8051
