I experimented with efsl (->32kB) and Larwe's DOSFS (->8kB). Thanks for 
the pointer to FatFS, so far I was looking into this one to be adopted:

Not sure whether I need LFN (what a crude hack... I was amazed when I 
read the FAT-related documentation how it was fiddled into FAT) as the 
target architecture supports only 10-char filenames, hence mingling that 
into 8+3 should be fairly easy (apart from some non-standard symbols).

Not sure, though, whether I'll be able to mingle everything (FAT32, 
SD/MMC access, system integration/menu) into the 4kB bank of the target 
machine's ROM.

Thanks for the input from both of you! (Wolfram, you got mail ;)
