I'm thinking about writing a device driver for this peripheral I have.
It's an old Atari HPC-301 card drive that reads the memory cards for my
Atari Portfolio.

The memory cards uses DOS FAT as a format. This enables them to be read by
my Atari Portfolio as a flash-drive.

On my PC, I have this interface card that the HPC-301 card drive plugs
into. It comes with a DOS device driver that allows me to read the memory
cards using MSDOS.

I'd like to do this for Linux so I can mount it as a FAT filesystem. That
is, I could use the existing MSDOS FAT driver and use it on top of the
device driver I'd write for the HPC-301.

How would I go about this?

I'm disassembling the DOS device driver to see how it drives the card at
the moment.

Cheers,
Alex
