ok, cool.

ok, that's nice. can OS9 mount ufs partitions? i remember being able to
mount ext2fs partitions from OS/2 with a third-party driver (it was how
i get the network bits onto my non-networked version of OS/2 as the ext2fs
driver fit on a floppy and the network bits didn't)
that would be nice. not overly nessesary, but nice none-the-less.
