Under the hood, most (??all??) of the DOC chips are NAND and could be used to 
run JFFS2 or YAFFS. Many people do use JFFS2 with some DOC devices (I don't 
know about the G3),  I don't know about people using YAFFS though, but it is 
certainly possible. 

MSys push TrueFFS hard because that is their big value added (that's why DOC 
is so expensiver per-byte).
