Simplest (practical) file system?

What is the simplest usable disk file system to implement?

More specifically, if your going to write a disk file system from
scratch, what would be the easiest way to implement
some basic file system functionality?

How did some of the very early DOS systems allocate disk space in the
days before FAT tables, etc?

Just how simply can this be done?
