Lets not muddy the water with unrequested and unnecessary features,
and poor understanding of the Filecore/FS/ImageFS structure. There is
no advantage to multiple filecore partitions or mixing filecore and
foreign partitions on the same disc. The only consideration is to
allow access for the widest range of USB devices.
This includes those with multiple FAT partitions. However such
partitions are purely the domain of the image filing system that
handles the non native format (e.g. DOSFS), and neither Filecore or
the underlying hardware filing system driver (ADFS or SCSIFS) have any
role in this.
