Has someone written a device that takes a file device
(by this a mean like those virtual hard drives with the bridgeboard)
for its input? So for instance you could mount one of these bridgeboard
files with a MessyDOS filesystem to read and write from/to it.
I am thinking of writting such a device but don't want to re-invent
the wheel so anyone done something similar ??
Thanks,

Its real soon now people in the know.

Available on some Fish disk, of course. Oh, and if it actually works with MSH: and a bridgeboard file, please let me know so I can document the fact. -- Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert rhialto@cs.kun.nl How can you be so stupid if you're identical to me? -Robert Silverberg
