Hi Pasi,
I experiemented also a little bit last night and added some of the partition
selection commands to the next version of 64HDD.
>> 3) are files stored only in the partition space allocated between "start"
>> and "end", or can the whole disk be used.
>Only within the selected partition/subdirectory. The bitmap for a
>subdirectory has the outside area and the allocated blocks of the

>track of a subdirectory is the first track in the partition, not
>the middle one as for the root directory.
This is very helpful information for when I complete the partion
creation" functions next week. Just to check that I have it correctly...
When the new partition is created the BAM in the parent is allocated all the
blocks the partition has been assigned. However, after a N: is given the
partition BAM has all blocks outside the partition (and local dir-track)
allocated, and the free space in the partition "free" and that is how DOS
knows how to allocate within the partion space.
Many thanks,
Nick
