Re: GS/OS FST files?

Hi Again Glenn, David, Michael et al.

A lightbulb just went on!

Another possibility would be to pre-create some 32MB HDF files on the USB 
flash drive,
and then use the file read/write commands at 512byte offsets, in blocks of 
512bytes.

Would also be possible to read/write 140k .DSK/.PO files on the flash drive 
the same way.

A normal prodos style block interface could still be presented to the 
operating system.

Kills two birds with one stone. Easy back-up of real A2 media, direct to 
image file format.

A simple supervisor program in the firmware on the interface card could be 
used to
select the current "image" file to use.

Just ordered a couple of VDIP modules to play with.
