Of course you can use FAT12 if that suits your needs.

I set it to 0 for my project. I read in other messages here that
blocksize=erasesize but for erasesize=0 this is definitely not the case
:-) I did no modifications to the slram code and the sizes are:

erasesize=0 byte
sectorsize=512 byte
blocksize=1024 byte

Be careful to use fresh mtd code when you try this (in the latest
slram.c, it is predefined with 0 anyway). I run into problems with old
releases.
