Re: FLM dsk
btw anyone in touch with david handley these days? - Original Message - From: Gavin Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 12:17 AM Subject: FLM dsk Would someone to me a favour and send me a disk image (dsk or sad) of Football League Manager please? I have the disk (I can send you a webcam image of it if you don't believe me!) but the only PC I have access to is Win 2000 and Edwin's Disk Manager doesn't work with it - nor do samdisk/samdsk. Oh and if you are going to send it, please send it to me, not the list ;) Gavin (Apologies if my time zone is messed up - I'm on a developer's build of Mac OS X 10.1 and it might be like this for a week or so :/ )

I've written a filter driver that allows standard format SAM disks to be read on Windows 2000 (and on NT, with a different binary build - not tried XP yet). If Edwin's interesting in adding NT/2000 support to his disk manager, he's welcome to use it... Si

I was thinking of doing something similar for Linux... a proper filesystem driver to allow native mounting of SAM disks... -Original Message- From: Simon Owen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2001 11:55 PM To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: RE: FLM dsk Gavin Smith wrote: the only PC I have access to is Win 2000 and Edwin's Disk Manager doesn't work with it - nor do samdisk/samdsk.

I started looking at that myself a while back - got as far as stripping out the FAT driver from the kernel sources, and building directory structures from the SAM directory. Unfortunately I forgot it was still under the kernel source tree when I came to wipe my Linux installation for a new one... :-( DOS, Win9x and NT/W2K/XP need completely different implementations for each, which would be a lot of work. I'd be most tempted by the last one as things are moving more that way, but the IFS SDK costs $1000+VAT. Si
RE: FLM dsk
OK then. I'll start working on it in a couple of weeks time when I get myself a half-decent PC with linux on it... Any chance of looking at some source code that deals with the SAM disk layout (especially the data manipulation parts)? the actualy linuxy bits should be a peice of cake... :) (...famous last words from a professional linux driver writer). If all goes well, theoretically, we should be able to mount standard .dsk files as loopback devices, aswell. Then again, that also depends on the format for .dsk! -Original Message- From: Simon Owen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 11:16 AM To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: RE: FLM dsk Justin Skists wrote: I was thinking of doing something similar for Linux... a proper filesystem driver to allow native mounting of SAM disks...

For the logical disk stuff Andrew Collier's Sam .dsk Image Manipulator source code is probably a good start on it.

RE: FLM dsk
cheers for that. it all seems simple enough... -Original Message- From: Simon Owen [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 12:02 PM To: sam-users@nvg.ntnu.no Subject: RE: FLM dsk Justin Skists wrote: OK then.
