Yes, I am familiar with romfs, however, being that the majority of users of 
mmc/sd
equipment have not even heard of Linux, etc., that doesn't help me at all 
(unless I want
to write a WinAll program that translates the romfs to something a windows 
machine can
read).

At best, it would require a device driver to support it in native Windows, 
which for my
customers is unacceptable.  Therefore, it must be supported by Windows natively 
(and I
realize the benefit of other OS's being able to read it too such as Linux, OSX, 
etc.).
Thanks for the suggestion however!
