Re: keeping TOS-FS or not?



Personally, given the plethora of second-hand Atari machines, 
there is no reason to support the emulator scene.  Whatsmore,
there are highly performant TOS clones on the market.

The only thing missing is a TOS laptop with 256-color graphics
and advanced CPU, perhaps something like a laptop Milan?

Again, /etc/fstab serves a purpose, why not use it?

We could easily have:

----------
# /etc/fstab -- wird von /etc/rc.boot ausgewertet

# TOS filesystems
c	-		tos	-	-	-

# VFAT filesystems
a	-		vfat	-	-	-

# NEWFAT filesystems
d	-		vfat	-	-	-

# minix filesystems
e	/		minix	-	-	-

# EoF
----------

What's the point of having an fstab if nobody's gonna use it?
We might as well revert to SingleTOS then...
