Hey, I made a reference post! Wow!

I have a similar FAT12 bootloader, but I don't know where it is and don't have time to look for it right now. FAT16 would be a cross between the FAT12 and FAT32 code.

Also, I'd like to warn that that code isn't the best, and you should only take general ideas from it. It works, but it might be easy to break since I didn't do a whole lot of error checking.
