   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?
