Besides latest devel kernel, no. When I make something working, I send
patches to Linus. Currently 2.1.102+ has latest working UMSDOS code.

Please note that UMSDOS is not fully fixed currenly.

Especially umsdos root does not work. I'll fix when I fix more important
things (like rename not working etc). Any patches or help are welcome.

Please read fs/umsdos/README-WIP.txt for more information on current state
of UMSDOS.
