Hi guys,

I've just inherited a Atari Portfolio (one of these cute PDAs with a 40x4
LCD display and just 128k of static RAM) and a PC hardware card that goes
into my PC and allows me to read/write files on Portfolio memory cards
that plugs into my Portfolio.

These are in DOS FAT format using 128/256/512 byte sectors, with disk
space of between 32K up to 128K!! Ohh, the good old days of 8088
architectures. :o)

I was wondering if there was a Linux driver that could control the PC
hardware card (HPC-301) and mount the memory card as a FAT filesystem. If
not, it should be relatively trival to do so since the msdos filesystem is
already implemented, just need a driver that will act as the link layer
between the device itself and the FAT filesystem.

Just asking if there could be one out there and don't want to duplicate
effort. :o)

Cheers,
Alex
