      From: muta...@gmail.com              Another thing is that a hard disk, e.g. file :0x80,       can have multiple FAT partitions, which I will open       for direct access as "+C", "+D" etc.              I'll have an "offline +C" command to take a FAT       partition offline so that an application can issue       the fopen when direct access is required.              And an "eject :0x80" to take an entire device offline.              Or should I just have a single command work on       either file type?              BFN.
