I am please to announce the release of the HFS file system module version 0.2
The current location is ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/hfs_fs02.tgz
I have suggested it be moved to /pub/Linux/ALPHA.
This patch adds a read-only Macintosh HFS filesystem module to Linux 1.1.77.
In theory it should work on any Linux platform, regardless of byte order.
It has, however, only been tested on Intel platforms so far.
The only major change from version 0.1, out just 5 days ago, is that this
version SHOULD work for all HFS volumes, not just 1.44M diskettes. This
includes HFS CD-ROMs. I have only been able to test it on diskettes, however,
so please let me know about your success or failure with CD-ROMS. Note that
this does not mean that you can read 800k diskettes on a PC. The floppy
drive of a PC simply cannot do so.
This code is ALPHA, so backup anything important before you start playing.
Suggestions/comments/questions/cash/beer are welcome.
