diskimage.device 52.28
Fredrik Wikström has updated his diskimage.device for AmigaOS 3.x and AROS/x86. Additionally the author wants to know if users are interested in an AROS/PPC-version.
With the diskimage.device you can mount different image files of volumes. Currently more than 20 formats are supported, e.g. adf, dms, hdf, iso and img. The user-interface called DiskImageGUI still has some bugs.

Filesystem: Kickstart 1.x-compatible version of PFS3 (beta)
The author of WinUAE, Toni Wilen, has created a version of the open source filesystem PFS3 which works with 68000-processors and under Kickstart 1.x.
Booting PFS3-devices is only possible starting with Kickstarts 1.3. Currently all dialog boxes of the filesystem were deactivated because Kickstart 1 only offers few requester functions.
Apart from that all functions of the filesystem were implemented, inclusive DirectSCSI if the used controller does support it. Wilen warns of "the usual problems like loss of data" because the filesystem is still beta. The version was tested under WinUAE and on an Amiga 500 with Supradrive. The source codes will be given later soon.
