Re: [MiNT] [?? Probable Spam] Re: 1.17 Release - Call for documentation updates !
Thanks, I've got further questions :).
> aranym.xfs
I assume that it's aranym specific filesystem and it isn't needed on
real Atari hardware, for what it is used under Aranym?
> dummy.xfs
This one looks like it's test module, which does nothing(it does?), so
it doesn't have to be loaded, right?
> ext2.xfs
Self explanatory. Ext2 partitons handling.
> hostfs.xfs
What's for is this one?
> minix.xfs
Self explanatory. For minix partitions handling.
> nfs.xfs
MiNT new file system...
> device drivers:

Falcon only, DSP56k driver.
> dummy.xdd
test module, not needed(?)

What's for this one?

Aranym specific, not needed on real Atari hardware.

What's for this one? Name indicates that it has something to do with
redirecting output to various devices.

Is it generic interface?

So if I don't use modem and dial up connection then I can skip, above
mentioned? If HSMODEM is required it should be mentioned somewher also.

Hello,
Anyone could fill in some basic information about loadable
filesystems/modules on wiki pages or point me to the documentation, where
everything is described?
Some basic info would be sufficientlike name of file, function description,
for what hardware it is targetted.
I see some things are aranym or hades/milan specific and I haven't any idea
what is suitable/needed for my hardware set-up.
Regards,
Pawel
with aranym the following is used:
file system drivers:
aranym.xfs
dummy.xfs
ext2.xfs
hostfs.xfs
minix.xfs
nfs.xfs
generally speaking it is OK to include ALL .xsf files (file system
drivers) on any system. You can leave out the ones you dont use to
save memory, if you know which ones they are.
device drivers:
dsp56k.xdd
dummy.xdd
flop_raw.xdd
inet4.xdd
nfstderr.xdd
xconout2.xdd
all other device drivers will cause problems on ARAnyM. nfstderr.xdd
(Native Features Standard Error redirector) is ARAnyM specific
network interface drivers:
nfeth.xif
only one of these should be used per platform/machine, specific to
your hardware. Use of dummy.xif is also probably OK on any system too.
use of slip.xif, plip.xif and dial.xif are (probably) for modem
related drivers, and may also require HSMODEM fix (depending on your
hardware)
It is (theoretically) possible to use 2+ .xif drivers if you have the
hardware to support them.
