ruby-slowfat - FAT library for Ruby designed for slow links/media

Ruby class/gem to access FAT filesystems (currently only FAT16) over slow links or media, such as serial connections. Prioritizes minimum I/O whenever possible, and flexible backing (anything subclassed from IO that can seek and read).

• FAT16 support
• Read and format directory listings
• Read contents of files

• FAT12 support
• Write support
• Optimize a couple places where we might do more I/O than required

require 'slowfat'

img = File.open("test_fat16.img", 'r')
fs = SlowFat::Filesystem.new(backing: img, base: 0x7E00)
print fs.dir("WINDOWS").to_s
print fs.file("WINDOWS/SETUP.TXT").contents
