Given a sane filesystem, yes. If (the) native filesystem(s) are sane, is

All of NTFS (and basically FAT*). Are there are different versions? If
yes, how do I tell?
It *is* case insensitive (as it compares filesystem names
case-insensitive on the equivalent of an open() syscall).
Apart from "please google that, thank you": The filesystem (driver))
preserves the case of a filename if you create it (TTBOMK). But it
ignores the case of the filename for other file operations like open(),
stat(), etc.
ACK. But if you have a case-insensitive or case-preserving filesystem,
the tools can´t really do that much.
And given the "understanding" of the monopolist (as such) in that area,
most of the "tools" are actually inherent part of the OS (and not just
another 3rd party app). SCNR ....
