Short: Enhanced FileSystem for CBM 1541 disks Author: Helmut Schoettner Uploader: Helmut Schoettner Type: disk/misc Version: 1.32 (2008-01-04) Replaces: FS1541-131.lha; FS1541-13.lha; FS1541-12.lha Requires: OS 2.1 to 3.9 BB2, format command of OS 3.1, catweasel with multidisk.device 3.62 or fmsdisk.device Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 2.1.0 Distribution: NoCD FS1541 is a full-blown AmigaDOS file system, which reads and writes the CBM 1541 disk format using the *Catweasel* floppy controller or "fmsdisk.device". This is a *NEW* version (2008-01-04), which is completely debugged and enhanced to provide you a really stable and solid access for both reading and writing CBM 1541 disks using OS 2.1 to 3.9. I removed all bugs I noticed yet and enhanced FS1541 a lot. You'll notice full ID, attribute and file type support most. This allows to set and change the CBM type of a file with FS1541. Just add ",T" to the file name to do that (T for the type which is P, S, R, U like it's with CBM-DOS). Also the CBM "header change" is possible by specifing the new ID with a colon after the volume name. The ID is appended to the volume name too. Handling of the write protect attribute (">") is now also supported. The conversion of the character sets of AMIGA and CBM 64 is now unique. Although the display on AMIGA may look different for that many special CBM characters, every character is unique now and will end up in the same character again for every conversion in every direction. Using together with the latest multidisk.device FS1541 may be enabled to read and write the sector label of each block on disk like the CBM 1541 does. This improves compatibility a lot. For a complete overview about all fixes and enhancements see *ChangeLog*. The CBM 1541 floppy drive has been the standard disk drive for the C64 computer series, and many people still have disks flying around. In order to process disks directly, you need the *Catweasel* floppy disk controller and a 5.25 inch drive, without it you have to get "fmsdisk.device" from Aminet or somewhere, which lets you operate on ".d64" disk image files. Complete source in C is included. SAS-C 6.58 and GCC 2.9.5.3.4 are supported yet. Format of OS 3.1 is needed named as oFormat because it cannot be included here because of the aminet guidelines. Please contact me for any complains (also about the contents of this archive). I'll fix it ASAP as soon I get to know the complains. Thank you!
