Did you know there are timing problems with directly connecting a hard
drive to a 68030? Its going to be h*ll trying to get this thing working...
Oh well...
So far, you were right. AVR fat table and hard drive support has taken up
6 pages. :) The 68030 with defrag, write, read, and file controll takes
up 60 pages, but I didn't write it let alone under stand it. It was
written in forth.
Opps...Its not a good idea to stay up untill midnight and get up at 5:30.
I was too tired and mad at the germans, that I wrote fortan and i meant to
type forth.
Those germans can't understand "I'd like to talk to your sales office".
The guy said, "ayehhh, he isn't in. Please to call tomorow. Okay?" :)
