- If I interpreted the postings on alt.cd-rom a little whiles back, I
- think that Matshita is a company in Korea and is totally unrelated to
- Matsushita (which is better known outside of Japan as Panasonic).
- Ergo, I wouldn't jump on AsimWare's CDFS just yet (although I have
- heard many praises for the filesystem, and I am thinking of switching
- over to it from CD-Rom FS). Perhaps a query in alt.cd-rom or a phone
- call to AsimWare or the other two CD-ROM file system companies (Xetec
- and Canadian Iforgetheirname) might be a good precautionary measure.
