- 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.
