fat95 - FAT12/16/32 filesystem handler for AmigaOS. Fork of disk/misc/fat95.lha.
COMPONENTS IN THIS RELEASE
==========================
- fat95 4.1 (30.09.2026)
- install95 3.20 (04.10.2026)
- dd 2.7 (03.10.2026)
- debug95 3.19 (25.01.2026)
- SetFileSize 1.1 (25.01.2026)
- boot95 3.19 (25.01.2026)
- lsfsres 1.3 (03.10.2026)
- ptable.library 2.2 (03.10.2026)
- lsptres 1.2 (03.10.2026)
WHAT'S NEW (07.10.2026)
=======================
Install:
* New Installer and Language scripts.
* Language folders replaced by locale/ files.
* Reworked icon positions.
ptable.library 2.2, lsptres 1.2:
* Synced with amigaos-ptable, ptable.library ships in small and full
variants.
Tools 'dd 2.7', 'lsfsres 1.3':
* Improved paging.
Purpose
=======
"fat95" is a DOS handler to mount and use FAT12/16/32 volumes just as if
they were AMIGA volumes.
System requirements
===================
* every AMIGA, OS 1.3+ (OS 2.0+ for full functionality)
* a suitable device file for low level disk access, like the
mfm.device for floppies, compactflash.device for CF in PCMCIA
* ptable.library (bundled, install to LIBS:) for partition auto-detect,
explicit-geometry mountlist entries do not need it
* Installer 43.3 or newer for Install (without it, see Installation in
fat95.guide)
Installation
============
* Double-click Install. It detects the CPU tier, copies L:fat95 and
ptable.library (small variant, full in Expert mode), writes the
chosen language into L:fat95, and offers the tools and the floppy
mountlists MS0 and MS1.
In Expert mode it also adds a LoadModule L:fat95 line at the top of
S:User-Startup. cfd and fat95 share one LoadModule line. Adapt that
line to your system as needed.
I recommend putting fat95 and ptable.library in ROM as resident
modules instead of LoadModule.
* Double-click Language to change the language of an installed L:fat95.
Features
========
See fat95.guide for full documentation.
* Workbench and applications support
* Diskchange autosense
* Format type autosense: FAT12, FAT16 and FAT32

* Inquiry, read, write, and maintenance access
* Built-in error check utility
* Disk formatting using the OS 2.0+ format command
* MS-DOS 8.3 downward compatibility

* Date range Jan 1st, 1980 through Dec 31st, 2107
* Extended datestamp support: creation date and time, last accessed date
(readable as file comment text; off by default, Control "+d+D" enables)
* Volume serial number as name for unnamed volumes
* Automatic directory optimization
* Installer script for automated installation (Installer 43.3 or newer)
