Hi Adriano,
First congrats on the new Uzix! It seems incredibly promising!
Now it's about SCSI devices. I think KonamiMan, Manuel and
Eric Boon are the right people to answer them... :)
I don't know much about the technical details of the

Alex,
You are right. Though, in stead of using special commands to look at the
directories and copy files from them, you can also build FAT support into the
uzix kernel. Such that you can do for example:
mount /dev/scsia0 /msx_data
That would be perfect, I know.

So, SCSI users allways have to know the IDs of their SCSI devices?
If I had two SCSI HDs and a SCSI Zip Drive I must know that my first HD
has ID 3, my second HD has ID 2, my ZIP drive has ID 7 AND that my SCSI
interface has ID 4 (uff!) or I can't correcly select partition 3 of the
Sunrise IDE uses a not-so-standard way. Jon confirmed that IDE
uses all available space in sector 0 to save partition table. So, a PC
will recognize only the first 4 partitions... But, doing this makes
partition locating faster on MSX. :)
Uf... I hate these non-standard tricks. Sorry.
Nestor,
MegaSCSI uses actually two systems at the same time to manage
partitions:
Yes, I know this. But using MEGASCSI.TBL is fudeba. :)

On the case of MegaSCSI, there is no need for this.
