    It says “DOS”, not “MS-DOS”. “The operating system is Wind River Systems’ Vx-Works version 5.3.1, used with its flash file system extension

    A couple of notes: Your RSS feed (http://troyandgay.com/wordpress/wp-rss2.php) doesn’t have proper hyperlinks. Also, if I click the “RSS feed for comments on this post”, I get a PHP error.

    Are you sure it’s not referring to DOS’ FAT file system? Are you sure that Wind River doesn’t use the FAT filesystem that Microsoft licenses to be used in embedded products with flash memory (like digital cameras)?
