Re: SD-Card Problem with the NEW ROM v80.

That was obvius.... as I said a few month ago with new rom 2.00
release.
The Rom 2.00's file system afford to store UPPERcase char and lowercase
char with same name (File and FILE or FiLe) on sd-card with HP and we
can see the file name like is write as store with upper an lower char.
(Nice but not compatible with the FAT)
The fat (16 or 32) not efford "really" this on windows (the fat have
this limitation and this is know to all people in the world) when we
use a SD-CARD reader to copy, backup,read,write file faster.... so we
CANNOT store any file with same name upper or lower char.
The old ROM 1.23's file system on SD is fully compatible with old fat
16 (DOS) we can see and write ONLY upper char on sd and the confusion
was impossible on hp or on windows on both way. All file was read and
write only with UPPER char.
The new ROM 2.00's file system on sd was very incompatible with all
file system in the world.... but now with the new release 2.01 some
problem of this incompatibility are removed but few problem still
remain. Now we can see, read and write ONLY UPPER char on sd with HP so
we cannot store file with same name (fully compatible with the FAT16 or
32 and windows) but the "renaming" system to find the real name of file
is now ONLY PARTIAL compatible with win (but more than before with the
2.00), so if you store a file with name "File" you can see only "FILE"
on sd with HP and you cannot store "FILE" or "FiLe" on same directory
but you can see "File" on windows with sdcard reader and you cannot
store "FILE" with win too, but if you store "BACKUP" with win with
sdcard reader on sd now you (still) CAN store "BacKup" in same
directory on HP in sd because the HP don't see "BACKUP" writed before
with win on sd whereas win see "File" stored before with HP on sd.
The problem with this new ROM with the name stored on sdcard with the
ROM 2.00 are obvius.... whereas there are not problem with the old 1.23
ROM file system.
HP seem leave the wrong way of the ROM 2.00's file system (in HP we
trust).
Finally the way is correct.....need only few corrections. At the end, I
hope, we can see and store only "File" or "FILe" in same directory but
we can see "File" and "FILe" with the correct name as windows directory
and if you store "Backup" on sd with HP on sd you can see "Backup" with
windows on sdcard reader and viceversa.
