Seriously, I read over the draft from '06 and it looked promising. Combuster's VDisk is a nice tool, but without VB6 I can't add FAT12 support to it.
What happened to SFS and its related tools?

SFS - what happened?
I wish I could add more texSolar wrote:It keeps stunning me how friendly we - as a community - are towards people who start programming "their first OS" who don't even have a solid understanding of pointers, their compiler, or how a OS is structured.

Re: SFS - what happened?
In my case: its on hiatus. The main problem I have with SFS is that it becomes far less simple if you have to design algorithms that work well with damaged sectors. I hope that in due time there's opportunity to update it. There are some things that I want to update (like making it freebasic compatible so that it works on my OS as well).
The idea is that there is an utility to create SFS images, and the spec is available, so there's nothing stopping you from using SFS as your primary filesystem. Still SFS is a long way from beating FAT off the floppy drive.
