Oooh. Why not look into writing a device/filesystem driver?
Would fit in more neatly, and be more flexible
(-> Win NT/98/2K)... no?
Wouldn't require raving insanity either ;)
One might even be able to layer FAT on top of EXT2.
Wouldn't that be nice?!
I wonder if cygwin can produce VXD's/.386 etcetera? ..
You could assemble them manually, if not..
