From Valerij Kozhevnikoff → To Kirill Frolov 25 March 2000
Hello, Kirill!
14 Mar 00 23:38, Kirill Frolov -> Valerij Kozhevnikoff:

VK>> stood up, because no one cares.
KF> Reads directly?
Why directly?
You can do it directly, although the local partition table can be easily accessed via RST 8.
For each partition, it returns the type, 6-letter name, LBA coordinate, and
size. (In the case of isdos: the partition is type 3, and it can accommodate one disk).
In general, the partition has a size of up to 32 MB, but the isdos imposes a limit of 16 MB.
The installer must find all isdos partitions (disks) on the screw and show them to the user,
and ask: which letter to hang on which letter.
Next, based on the user’s instructions and the geometry of the screw, he must determine
physical (CHS or LBA) coordinate of the zero block of each device, and
register it in the driver, because the driver itself does not come into contact with the shadow engine at all
no way.
KF> How do y MOA lie is-dos disks, standard (as in PC)?
I don’t know how it is in PC, but I think not. MOA has a partition (disk) name of 6 characters.
In general, MOA has all the isdos/trdos/tspm sections in one big one, and thisThe large partition is called MFS by the shadow company. If the screw marked on the socket is inserted into
another computer, it will name this MFS as "Unknown".
If you place the screw on another computer, and at the same time leave a free
place, then a shadow person can create MFS in a free place, and already in it
create trdos/isdos/tspm, etc. At the same time, partitions created on another computer
will remain intact.
KF> Why does the customizer configure the controller?
No. Nemov's customizer asks the user to enter the coordinates of the disks by hand, my
asks them from the shadow guy.
ps: for the love of all that is holy, just don’t yell “wow, what a motherfucker,” it’s quite
It’s convenient, and you can use it, getting a positive result.
“Unlike the bad, but standard PC” is a completely different question, and
there is no point in discussing it.
WBR, Jason.
