fmsdisk.device will work, allthough i`m not 100% sure how big a device file
it
will look at (somewhere in the high XXX MB i think) it`s been quite a while
since i looked at the source code, it`s buried on my HD somewhere, i`ll
check
in a bit.
What size is the hardfile?. I can check the file size on my setup for you,
if you want. :)
You can certainly use it to read/write ADF files without any converting.
Plus
will have to go throught the agro of setting up the mountlist (or DOSDriver)
entry for it, but thats very simple.
P.S
If you want a nice GUI and other utils for fmsdisk, i did program some
myself you
know (and much better that the old HFMounter ;).
