Hi, normally, I wouldn't have any problem with having drivers on a second disc / image. But FAT (and in particular cdfs) are core-drivers in my opinion, which are needed almost every time - also for booting from CD for installation. FAT is widely used still today, e.g. on usb-sticks.
What are currently the biggest problems in these drivers? If remember correctly, our cache manager isn't compatible to the one in Windows, and these drivers have workarounds, is it? Perhaps the drivers could be written by a GSoC project or something like that? Additionally, what about NTFS? Is there a ntfs-driver in the MSDN-library as is the FAT-driver? If not, almost nothing is won if we use the fat-driver from MS: The OS- dependent part of the ntfs-driver need to be written from scratch from us anyway, which could then be reused by our FAT-driver. And hey, the filesystem part of the FAT-driver shouldn't be too complicated if we managed to write a NTFS-driver^^ Best regards, Michael Fritscher _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
