> Is this only compatible with FAT32, or is it also compatible with FAT12/16? It would be very cool if this would support floppy disks.

It's simple enough to work on basically anything, but for what purpose?

The max file size on FAT12/16 is the same as the max drive size.

And FAT32 is very easy to implement for any system dealing with multiple megabytes.

As I replied to the comment, it's about having a filesystem that scales from floppy disks to hard drives. This is quite important for hobby OSes.
