Short: CDROM fs, also reads Mac floppy & hd Author: MC6489@mclink.it (Nicola Salmoria) Uploader: MC6489@mclink.it (Nicola Salmoria) Type: disk/cdrom AmiCDFileSystem is a file system which can read: - ISO-9660 (w/ RockRidge extensions) and Macintosh HFS CD-ROMs - Macintosh HFS floppy and hard disks The ability to read Macintosh floppy and hard disks comes for free, since they use the same file system used for HFS CD-ROMs. This program was originally based on AmiCDROM 1.9 by Frank Munkert. While the file system functions are mostly the original ones, I completely rewrote the packet handling routines. This file system can be installed on the Rigid Disk Block (RDB) of an hard disk to automatically mount a Mac partition (you can even boot from it, if you manage to put the necessary Amiga system files in it). The code is reentrant and is shared among multiple instances of the file system. This means that if you use AmiCDFileSystem on a CD-ROM drive, a magneto-optical drive, two floppy drives and two hard disk partitions, like a friend of mine does, only one copy will be loaded instead of six - saving 100K of memory.
