with __attribute__((packed)) it becomes 14 on ARM
(as Russell and Dave suggested. Thanks)
having patched quite a few structures with __attribute__((packed)) it now
seems to be successfully mounting a floppy and showing correct file lengths
(and even contents of the 1 text file I've so far found on my floppy).
Patch might appear soon...
(although it won't be very tested as I've only got 2 floppies and no Mac)
Am I right in thinking that the only "correct" portable way to read binary
structures off disk is into a char array, and then decode it from there?
