Andy,

=20

            I think I'm starting to get the hang of the diffs between
ufs and ext2 file systems.

=20

I pretty sure I have the higher level, but I'm struggling with the
actual I/O section of EXT2FS stuff (:-))

=20

Last we talked I thought I heard you say something like the file system
on the CF will be like DOS ??

  DOS partitions?

=20

I'm trying to get the "io_manager" section of the ext2fs structures to
have the right functions to call, to actually talk
to the hardware.

=20

The "DOS" examples seem to be the best fit so far. ( replace the bios
functions with our hardware functions)

=20

Am I out in left field????  Or not even in the ball park ???

=20

Thanks,

Warren
