I also note that the most recent changes to amitools / VAMOS are from the amifuse guy, e.g. https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/commit/7be270c4c844127e89572c68

That's a lot of PRs from him: https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Areinauer https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%...
There's a lot more AmigaOS API calls and infrastructure that filesystem handlers rely on than just BCPL, e.g. I see here he added a fake input.device to make FFS happy: https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/pull/231/files#diff-938ffdda545bb8befc008b3b3c841134d9be21cccfb2dfb5bd559935f69e4232 https://github.com/cnvogelg/amitools/pull/231/files#diff-938...
And to answer my earlier question, how does one get the filesystem handler out of ROM, the answer is amitools's "romtool" based on data taken from the Amiga ROMSplit tool.
So I guess he's working hard on beefing up VAMOS's AmigaOS emulation to get filesystem handlers working. Great stuff!
- Jope9000 10mo agoMost hard disk based Amigas have a more recent version of FFS installed into the RDB that supersedes the ROM based filesystem handler. The handler file is shipped on the OS install disk and it is automatically added to the RDB by HDToolBox when you initialize a new drive.
