Summary

Pre-release for testing. v20260816-dev of the fat95 filesystem handler and tools for m68k-amigaos (FAT12/16/32 support).

What's New

This pre-release marks a new major version, fat95 4.0. Partition auto-detection now runs on the new standalone ptable.library, so ptable.library is now required, and scanned partitions can be listed by the lsptres CLI tool.

Components in this release

  • fat95 4.0-dev (30.07.2026) (new)

  • SetFileSize 1.1 (25.01.2026)
  • boot95 3.19 (25.01.2026)
  • lsfsres 1.0 (16.05.2026)
  • ptable.library 2.0-dev (30.07.2026) (new)
  • lsptres 1.0-dev (30.07.2026) (new)

Changes

fat95 handler

  • New q (quiet) option. Control "+q" silences all fat95 error windows for a mount (errors go to the calling program instead). Unmounting a removed card now cancels any open window automatically.
  • Shared partition scanning. fat95 auto-detects its FAT partition (MBR, GPT, and flat whole-disk FAT) from the shared partition.resource published by ptable.library, instead of scanning the partition table itself. The resolved mount Flags/CONTROL are reported and shown by lsptres.
  • ptable.library 2.0 is now mandatory. partition auto-detection requires ptable.library in LIBS: only explicit-geometry mountlist entries still mount without it. The bundled lsptres tool lists partition.resource. The ptable.library and lsptres are bundled in this archive but released as a separate project at amigaos-ptable.

Tools

dd 2.3 (fixes #26)

  • A 64-bit transfer command (NSCMD_TD64, or TD64) is now used whenever the driver advertises one, not only past 4 GiB.
  • New CMDSRC (CS=) and CMDDST (CD=) force the transfer command for one side only. CMD still sets both sides. Only a real .device side is affected.
  • A forced command the driver does not advertise is now reported before the transfer, together with the methods the device does offer. An I/O error -3 points at dd INSPECT.
  • New MAXTRANSFER (MT=) sets the bytes per device request (default 130560).
  • New MEM sets the buffer memory type (ANY|PUBLIC|CHIP|FAST|24BIT), instead of the type the driver reports.
  • Every transfer prints an xfer: line with the bytes per request in use.
  • INSPECT also reports the buffer memory type and the device type.
  • A driver reporting fewer bytes moved than requested is reported once per transfer.
  • Fixed: a source file that is not a whole number of blocks lost its last partial block.
  • Fixed: a bad buffer when a device does not report its geometry.
  • Fixed: a hang when the block size exceeds one request.
