Minix FST

9/13/2015

This is a read-only FST for the Minix v1 and v1L (linux extended) file system.

Known issues:

VolumeGS:

• Always reports 0 free blocks.

• Since minix doesn’t support volume labels (I plan to extend to do so eventually), all disks are named “minix”. This implies only 1 minix disk may be mounted at a time.

ReadGS / GetDirEntryGS:

• Only the first 7K of a file may be read.

General:

• I haven’t quite figured out the proper way to handle disk swapping (all FSTs seem to do it different). For now, it’s probably best if you just avoid swapping disks while a file is open :).

• ProDOS 16 versions of the calls haven’t been extensively tested.

Non-FST Bugs:

• StdFileDialog (Save) reports 65536 free of 800k

• Finder windows display garbage for the FST name (should be fixed in GS.OS 6.0.4 :)
