SD Card: Boot Sector

In anticipation of adding an SD card reader to my project, I have been digging through rokicki's work. Using his awesome effort as a base I added a bit to his fsrw.spin program for the purpose of reading out the boot sector of an SD card.

Attached is a program that will read, format, and output the contents of the boot sector of an SD card. This output is directed to a terminal program on a PC, but that can be easily changed.

If anyone winds up digging into this, you might also find useful the wikipedia write-up on FAT16.

    Yes, I will eventually get around to digging into both this and rokicki's work. The device I am using claims to handle all the FAT work, but I am hearing a lot of digruntalment from other users of the device. I've not had time to play with it though. It's nice to know you guys are here just in case I do have to manually take control of the SD card.
