Hi Gas,
Yep, you are right. Sorry about my 'rtm'-remark
The sentence with flash at that time, referred only to the cartridge+flash.
Later Steve started produce the internal interface with updateable flash-rom.....
The problem with 4.x is that I have coded a space of 24 bytes for partition-buffer some were in <$700 ram.
24 bytes = 8 bytes IDE info and 3x8 byte logical drive info.
(The F-OS uses RAM in OS and has the full 72 byte buffer for 8 partitions)
So what Shawn is referring to, is that although you can have more partitions
on your harddrive and the OS only displays 3, when you know how to read
the partitiontable from IDE and store it in the partitionbuffer you are there.
But forsure I do not recommend tricks/hacks like that since you can distroy data when wrongly done!!!
This is changed in the newer versions and upto 8 drives will become available.
Cheers,
Sijmen.
