Yep. Sounds a lot like M-Systems' old devices, except they used Intel flash. 
I'd be very surprised if this TrueFFS was different to the TrueFFS which I 
had working before with David Hinds' FTL code.

I'll take a look at combining your drivers with the existing MTD stuff, which 
has FTL support - then I'll send it back to you for testing - do you currently 
have TrueFFS on any of these devices?

Can you send me a dump of one of these 'TrueFFS' filesystems?
