Without us even noticing it, Okei released version 0.09 of his FAT16 driver. I just tested it on my Sunrise ATA-IDE interface and it seems to work just fine. You can download the patch here
Changes in this version
- Different method of detecting a FAT16 partition. With MEGA-SCSI, you will need to format the FAT16 partition on a PC, IDEFDISK for ATA-IDE works fine. If you already have created a FAT16 partition with your PC or with IDEFDISK, you don't have to repartition. (phew...)
- Format and Ramdisk functions were disabled in BASIC. You can however create a RAMDISK before starting the FAT16 driver.
- Changed the DPARM (31h) Disk Paramater function, so it will give 32 bit adresses. Of course, the sofware needs some adjustment.
- Starting the driver no longer works with the /I paramater. Just run the program and the driver installs.
Okei also warns not to use the UNDEL program on a FAT16 partition, since this command is FAT12 only.
