firmware for the PseudoDisk

["Alex Freed" <alexf@mirrow.com>]

While waiting for the production PCBs to arrive I wanted to improve on the
firmware making the device more user-friendly.

One thing I wanted is to enable using several partitions, each for its
own ProDOS volume. Unfortunately it appears that Windows mounts
only the FIRST partition. So even if I add FAT handling code to the
firmware, I'll have to stick to a single partition.

This is a "request to comment". What do you think is the best way
to handle multiple images?

Everything is great under Linux (and I suspect OSX) but probably Windows
software is a must. Or is it?

For example:

1. Make a Windows GUI   that allows writing images to the SD/MMC.
No need for a "filesystem". Just some simple catalog of images that
are always contiguous.

2. Use FAT16 on SD/MMC to store files: .nib images and .hdv images.
Treat them as nibble images and ProDOS volumes depending on
extension. On boot load a program that will list the FAT catalog
and allow selecting an image by name.
