RE: New Linux 4word

Hi Frederic,

I use my own cfdos.com program to interface colorForth floppy images to
files : www.inventio.co.uk/cfdos.htm

Once the image is on a floppy ( bootable or not ) you can use "reads" and
"writes" to move to/from address a starting at sector s ( 18K Bytes ) number
of sectors n :
a s n reads
a s n writes
180 block 0 1 reads  \  copy the first 18 blocks of the floppy to block ( in
memory ) 180 .
198 block 10 1 reads  \  copy 18 blocks starting at block 180 from the
floppy to block ( in memory ) 198.

This is how I import other people's code.

Regards

Howerd  8^)

Perhaps. If we are about to colaborate, it seems a good idea to start from a
known, common version of CF, and then to add one thing at a time, in
especially for hardware-related stuff; that is, avoid mixing USB floppy
driver with a GeForce 9 "driver". Perhaps we should agree on a block-file
format to be used with a tool that let us import individual blocks on a
floppy? This would let each one "cook" it's own CF. Maybe it already exists?

 Amicalement,
  Frederic
