Good news: I just uploaded PFS3 and sources to Aminet.
Enjoy!

Thanks for releasing PFS3 for free.

I just thought I would post and let you know that its not just the classic and next gen OS4/MorphOS users that are interested in using PFS, us next gen 68k users with our FPGA amigas such as the Minimig are also interested.

I have just tested it on my 68000 Minimig and it makes a very noticeable speed increase when using it with my stock 2MB Minimig and unlike SFS I can use it as it does not need an 020 or higher.  

Sadly the stock Minimig only has 1.5MB of usable ram after loading kickstart so PFS3 300K memory usage is a bit limiting, but on my 4MB minimig and newer FPGA amiga re-implementations I am sure this will be far less of an issue.

Thanks again for all the hard work  :-)

Indeed. Perhaps not exclusively AROS related but Toni Willen plans to adapt PFS3 to make it compatible with AmigaOS1.3.

Very cool.  :-)

It would also be nice for us users with far more limited Amiga's if a version
with a lower memory foot print could be created  PFS3 150K memory requirement is just too high to be useful on a Minimig with only 1.5M (or my 1MB A500 with external HD) of usable but a version with a similar memory foot print to FFS would be very useful if it PFS3 could be slimmed down a bit.
