# Host FST
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a file system translator (and driver) for compatible Apple IIgs
|
|
emulators. It depends on emulator support (but should not cause problems
|
|
if run on real hardware or an unsupportive emulator).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This FST exposes a shared folder from your native file system as a volume
|
|
within GS/OS. (The volume will not be available from ProDOS 8). Reading
|
|
or writing a file on the :Host drive will read or write the file directly
|
|
on the native file system. File Types, Finder Info, and Resource Forks
|
|
are supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In general any software that works with the HFS FST should work with the
|
|
Host FST.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Currently, only GSPlus (0.13+) has support for the host fst.
|
|
|
|
1. See the [releases](https://github.com/ksherlock/host-fst/releases) page for a disk image.
|
|
2. Install the `host.fst` and `host.driver` in your `*:System:` folder
|
|
3. Bleeding edge versions of GSPlus have a config option (F4, Host FST Configuration) to
|
|
select the host fst directory. (On older versions it doesn't work correctly).
|
|
4. If you're using an older version of GSPlus, shutdown GSPlus and manually edit the
|
|
`config.txt` file. Add a line like:
|
|
|
|
g_cfg_host_path = /Users/me/IIgs/
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Note
|
|
|
|
Large volume sizes can cause a buffer overflow Finder's code and cause a crash (usually when displaying the File Info window).
|
|
This is fixed as of System 6.0.4.
