Hello,
does anyone have a synthetic and complete documentation regarding the QLWA filesystem (the one used on Qx0 and QPC).
I have found some 'educated'-guess about the value of the first sector,
but I wonder about:
- a better documentation of that first sector
- how the files are organised
- what is the content and meaning of the map
- how does a (sub)directory work (and what is its contains ?)
The QLWA is basically from what I recall, a patchwork of a FAT-12 organization (ie Atari GEMDOS modified partition) with link-lists for FAT (and lacking fat 2). The subdirectories are really pointers to files IIRC... In any case I have notes on everything which I could dig up if needed. Wolfgang with his extensive research on the matter could answer better that question I'd guess....
How about however scrapping the QLWA and writing either an Ext2FS driver or something else (and new, and better ie. more secure)?

Or would I have to read the code and figures it out myself ?
That ALWAYS helps :-)
(Any helps appreciated)
