That should be a relatively small change to EmuFS, to just alter the filetype algorithm slightly for particular shares/folders. I'm not sure on the current state of multiple EmuFS drives, but it's certainly possible to do symbolic links to different filesystems on Linux, and NTFS has a roughly-similar feature. This could be indicated at least two ways: >From a configuration file on the host side Or using the RISC OS filesystem special field, eg HostFS#mime::DriveD.$ Would you want Mimemap to happen on RISC OS rather than the host? It gets a bit more complex because then you couldn't boot from such a filesystem, since you need to tell Mimemap where its configuration file lives first. I suppose that could be done from an emulated podule ROM. For speed it might be quicker to use the same Mimemap file as RISC OS, but interpret it on the host side.
