Yes, don't forget this is a very old binary, there were multiple bugs fixed after SDFiler was released. It's almost pointless to analyze this now.
Yes, but unfortunately this means that this version of SDLIB does not preserve the case properly for some types of filenames fitting into the 8.3 scheme, and so it won't be of much help for David...

Is there a newer version of SDLIB publically available somewhere? If so, for the benefit of the users the SDFiler package should be updated with the latest version of SDLIB, I think. (And once the SD/FS related stuff in newRPL is fully debugged, it might even make sense to backport this to SDLIB - not now, but perhaps in a year or so.)

Regarding David's problem, both the original HP firmware and SDLIB seem to provide usable results for filenames not fitting into the 8.3 scheme. In the case of the original firmware we already know that it may still write buggy (lowercase) SFNs in this case, and that characters 80h..A0h are not translated into Unicode properly, but at least this happens in a predictable and therefore correctable way.
So, enforcing the creation of LFNs by appending some long enough dummy string to shorter (or all) file names still appears to be a basis for a possible workaround, although not a particularly nice looking one...

Greetings,

Matthias
