Fairlight-CMI

Hi all...

I think the 4GB limit it's FAT Microware OS-9 limit.
how byte use in FAT adress mode, for each Inode ?

in OS-9000 (Later version of OS-9) limit is up of 4GB !
but OS-9000 is disk formats incompatible with native OS-9.

Historically, OS-9 as far back as 1977... Very old system...
now 4GB is very small :)

no simple to adapter OS-9 (Old) with new large FAT OS-9...

it is possible to create more "partition table" ???

KMI what do you think about ?
