Yes, I meant write-once, not write-only.  I think that any sector-oriented
file system is bloated for this use, as the Am29F032B can be read and
programmed one byte at a time.  Only erasing is either 64 kilobytes or
4 megabytes at a time.

It'd make more sense to use a standard file system for removable media.  But
the flash ROM can only be accessed when the cartridge is inserted into a
Vic-20.
