There is a bug in the Sys 6.01 HFS.FST that has problems reading larger 
volumes.  The patch is available on Ground.  If you're using it to read 
Mac floppies, it shouldn't be a problem.

You also shouldn't have a problem reading HD volumes you've created 
yourself with that HFS.FST.  The main problem comes in reading files 
(again from larger volumes, at least >64MB, maybe larger) that have been 
created on a Mac or another IIGS with the patched HFS.FST.

If I remember right, when they were originally creating the HFS.FST, 
they followed some example code for part of it...the example code was 
incorrect.
