Update to this. I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I get a problem with using Fat32Fs leaving the machine in an 'odd' state. I've now found that as well as SparkFS some other apps - e.g. Pluto - also fail to work if I try them after having used Fat32Fs. In effect: haveing once used Fat32Fs to access a removable item, I have to do a power cycle to be able to go on an use various other items. If I haven't used Fat32Fs since bootup, all those other items work OK. I've also noticed that Fat32Fs can do the same to *itself*. i.e. If I've used a Fat removable and dismounted it. If I then remount it later on and then dismount it again I tend to get a "File too big" error and the machine will also complain about a missing disc at shutdown. I'll report this to Jeff.
