Would the current limitations of DOS character devices be okay for an OpenDOS /dev/fd0 or /dev/hda6, etc?? I still think there are some non-trivial (but certainly possible) changes needed to take advantage of such devices. But I won't say any more until I look at some source code so I know something about what I'm talking about (I've heard that's a good idea :-). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Aitchison, \_ Phone: +64 3 364-2947 home 337-1225 Dept of Physics & Astronomy,
