AROS doesn't have FAT or NTFS filesystems, so this is not possible.

Both filesystems are available for AmigaOS/MorphOS though: fat95.lha, ntfs_0.5.lha.

Maybe we will get to use those filesystems, if we can use DOS packets from the MOS sources? :-D

Uhm, but wasn't AROS all about scrapping this silly and limited DOSPacket interface?

The AROS Filesystem Interface

Maybe I've missed something.

Oh well, even if you'd implement dospackets, it still would not give your those filesystems working.

Like I've said before you'd need to have integrated m68k emulation, and compatible system structures (fat95 for example hacks into system lists directly bypassing dos.library). AROS chose it's path of having no binary compability, and it's now paying the price. Like I've said before, fixing this retrospect is going to be really massive workload.

Yeah, but there have been debates recently about adding DOS packets... exactly for this reason.

If the source code is available then thats no problem... But I believe the authors of these filesystems have agreed to provide an AROS version provided it provides the DOS Packet interface...

Ah ok.

NTFS filesystem, sure, but fat95? Didn't know the author was around still. Anyway, still that'd leave out PFS3 (IMO simply the best filesystem for AmigaOS/MorphOS, even when emulated).


Oh, and I meant scrapping not crapping. Sorry about that :-)

There is indeed a bounty for dos packet wrapper on TeamAROS.  $116 and hopefully when installer and UAE bounties are picked up, that sum will start to rise.  AROS really needs that dos packet wrapper.
