Re: disk image emulator on the GS - possible?

[Toinet <antoine.vignau@laposte.net>]

Hi All,

I like that post, I worked on such a IIgs thing in January 2009 in
order to mount CBM D64 images.

The objective is to double-click a disk image (DSK, PO) and thanks to
the IPC thing in a PIF, load the file into memory, perform the
necessary checks and add it into the list of devices.

What is interesting is that the driver is responsible for the
different block reads and writes or inits and that's all, the rest of
the job is performed by the FSTs.

I developed that new driver with my source code of the RAM5 (works
with the RAM but is firmware related) and ensoniqRAM (not hardware
related) drivers but I failed as I am still unable to simulate the
disk insertion or ejection which would update the device list, even
with the help of the different GS/OS books.

If one understands that notion (how to mount/unmount a device), please
contact me and I will finish that one during my summer vacation,
