- Thanks for the traffic about OS/2 and TOS, here is another.
-
- Now that OS/2 can name files with more than eight characters with
- it's HPS, what does that do to the ability for Atari to read IBM
- format disks?
-
- I'm sure that IBM machine will be able to read Atari files (under
- the old filename system) could an Atari read files created under
- OS/2's high performance filesystem?
-
- Would compatibility with the OS/2 file format be a future feature
- of a TOS 4?
-
- I feel this to be an important question, as OS/2 becomes more
- popular, and the likelyhood of Windows NT having a similar
- filesystem, and the need for curent and future (?) Atari users to
- read IBM disks.
