Erm far too much as usual ;-)
I have kernels here with your patches in. I have not had a chance to
retest them with my NT disk again.
I was not sure if these were ready to commit. You mentioned something
about ideally the code being MI (I've already found needs to do the
reverse i.e. mount Acorn disks on a i386 box).
Was the plan to make this MI then commit it or rather commit for the
arm32 and add a MI version to the wish list ;-)
Cheers,
Mark
