Thanks, I think that's what I needed to know.

The 1st bit of your reply was also of interest. We're currently using a 2.4 
kernel (big job to go to 2.6 as our processor and toolchain are out of tree) and 
the MTD guys no longer support this.

Is this summary correct -
Not only doesn't Linux yaffs need MTD, but it can't us it?
But yaffs direct provides chunk management so we can sit our own fat/fat32 on 
top of it? (with some interface wrangling to map the block requests to the yaffs 
chunk management - we need fat32 for the non-Linux case)

I wish all adverts were as honest. :-)
