If you want a flash filesystem look as jffs2. Its already in the eCos
sources, but needs updating a bit. There was a couple of messages
about this yesterday. Have a look in the mail archive.

There is currently no FAT16 support intergrated in eCos. Again there
was a post yesterday you might find interesting. Someone said they had
some code they could give away.

Depends on your requirements. FAT16 is probably much easier in terms
of unplugging your filesystem and plugging it into a M$ machine. jffs2
is designed specifically for flash devices and so will work a lot
better and FAT16. jffs2 is also well supported in Linux.
