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 ;)
