- It's certainly possible to read ADFS hard discs under ARMLinux. The problem
- which initially discouraged me from trying ADFS floppies (which I would like
- to ba able to do) is that according to the manpage, there's no assigned
- floppy device with the appropriate parameters. You need 1024-byte sectors.
- The man page mentioned resetting the parameters of unused devices with an
- ioctl, but I haven't got round to trying it out yet.
-
- The patch to implement the ADFS filesystem is part of the armlinux patch
- which is available from ftp.arm.uk.linux.org:/armlinux/ but it is not
- available separately. I suggested to someone a while back that this would
- be something which could be added to the 2.1 development early as it should
- be more-or-less independant of any other necessary changes, but this has
- not happened.
