Is there a web/site on information of 'HOSTFS' - ie how it works? Would it be possible to use it on a 'RISC OS' machine to read/write to a 'FAT32' disc as per Filecore. Thanks -- Colin Ferris Cornwall UK

It implements a basic filing system that instead of talking to emulated hardware (i.e. and IDE port) it talks to the emulator which in turn talks to Windows (or what-have-you). In this way, actual files can be accessible to both systems - both the host and the emulated RISC OS machine. HOSTFS is a front-end for an image filing system that calls HostFS SWIs. There is no module that provides these SWIs. Instead the emulator intercepts the SWI call and, if it is the HostFS SWIs, provides the desired functions, patches up the ARM registers, and returns as if the SWI had been completed. So, in short, it won't work on a real machine. Best wishes, Rick.
