- As far as this thread goes, someone mentioned (and I don't feel like searching
- for that exact message :) ) that such an FST would not be compatible with
- ProDOS 8. It should be pointed out that the HFS FST is not compatible with P8
- as it is! So I don't believe this should be considered a roadblock. I do
- believe though that the IIe/c deserve a "ProDOS II" would be a bunch of things
- that it could be, such as longer pathnames and such.

- >> It should support file and disk sizes up to the full limit of GS/OS
- parameters, i.e. 4 gigabytes per file or disk. <<
-
- I notice a few keywords here, noticably "the full limit of GS/OS..." I think
- such a new FST should take GS/OS to its limit, with things like (as you said)
- 4 gigabytes of storage, 255 (256?) long pathnames, larger allocation blocks,
- and the like. It should also be as fast as possible. :) Anyone think Apple
- would make such a thing, possibly as it's "last" project? :(
