I'm working on the 'MyQL' part of Launchpad and I'd like to ask for any additional information can offer on the following.
I'd like to compile as complete a list of current directory devices on QL-style systems as possible so that I may provide icons for these devices as required. Obviously, 'default' icons will be available for any 'unknown' devices.
The directory devices I am aware of at the moment are:
MDV FLP/FDV/FDK (the 3 types of floppy systems over the years) RAM WIN ROM ATR - Atari/DOS disk device IIRC DOS - QPC2 CDR - Thierry's Atapi drivers.
NUL - Nul device (+ BLACK_HOLE?)
N, M and S - network devices (assuming these count)
(DEV, SUB, PTH etc don't count as they could I suppose be anything)
I tend to disagree on the latter... The reason to use SUB, PTH and DEV is a) to overcome the FS limitations or b) (My reason to use them) because I want all my most-used files to be grouped conveniently together... for that reason if I want to say back them up, it would be best if they could be accessed at one time and in one go instead of running around in my subdirectories :-)
Any more known directory device driver names?
Not as far as I know....
