Hi all!
I guess the main question here is whether the file system should be
expandable
or not. If not, then a simple directory in the begining of the file is
ok,
but if you want to expand it, there is no place to expand the directory.
For my GeckOS/A65 I wrote a small ROM filesystem that is linked by
storing
the size of the next segment (file) at the start, so the file handler
could
jump from one to the next segment. Using an $FFFF as end marker gave me
the possibility to expand the (EP)ROM by overburning just the next part
from the empty EPROM $FF value to the data values :-)
