OK then. I'll start working on it in a couple of weeks time when I get myself a half-decent PC with linux on it...
Any chance of looking at some source code that deals with the SAM disk layout (especially the data manipulation parts)? the actualy linuxy bits should be a peice of cake... :) (...famous last words from a professional linux driver writer). If all goes well, theoretically, we should be able to mount standard .dsk files as loopback devices, aswell. Then again, that also depends on the format for .dsk! > -----Original Message----- > From: Simon Owen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 11:16 AM > To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no > Subject: RE: FLM dsk > > Justin Skists wrote: > > I was thinking of doing something similar for Linux... a > > proper filesystem driver to allow native mounting of SAM disks... > > Yay - please do! > > I started looking at that myself a while back - got as far as stripping > out the FAT driver from the kernel sources, and building directory > structures from the SAM directory.
