Re: Future (post E 2.0) idea



I think the partition idea is great, however, wouldn't Ardi need to offer
a device driver so the OS can read MacOS partitions? I know it's that way
with using HPFS with DOS & Win95. Using the native filesystem is a problem
because they don't support the two forks in the files (somehow that
doesn't sound right but that's what I recall reading), as I understand it.
Also, currently, only HPFS or SuperFAT support extended attributes that
could be used to closely mimic HFS's extents, type, creator, etc. At
least, that's as I'm understanding it at the moment. Maybe Ardi could
offer both as a solution: HFS on a volume (partition, single file or
otherwise). Using the native filesystems would cause more headaches than
it would solve, I think. SoftWindows has it easier because VFAT is dumb.

Just my 2cents.
