Auto mount USB stick folder - ADF support?

Post by solarmon »

Hi,

Any plans to have the Auto mount USB stick folder feature to be able to mount as an ADF image?

This would be useful on Amiga machines then since a stock Amiga does not support PC/DOS formatted disks.

To do this i need to recode a complete amigados file system handler from scratch able to fit in the gotek flash. There is maybe a way to take some shortcut and make something with the minimal needed stuff.

OK. If it is non-trivial then don't worry about it.

I had a situation where I needed to get a file to a stock Amiga 500. I just ended up creating a blank ADF image using ADF Opus on my Windows laptop and putting the file in that.

You can do this with the HxC software too.
