Subject: Item #421: Re: Item #411: Mac HFS support for CHRP Date: Mon, 14 Jul 97 08:39:04 -0500 From: "Richard L. Arndt" In reply to the attached note: >>>Ron et al I am a little confused by the wording of this proposal. I hope that you intend this to document an optional extention, required for MAC OS support, that is how the main body (new section) reads. However, the section: > >>> replace line 42 of page 56 with: > > =80 MacOS Heirarchical File System is not stated as an option, it is one of the 4 types that are required to be supported by all chrp platforms. We have a problem with this as manditory. Also the section: > > >>> add new table entry for Table 1, page 18, under Any block device: > > device:partition,:???? Mac HFS file system > > Note: ???? is TBD, hopefully by meeting time. while not stating explicity that the support is manditory, the description on lines 37-39 implies this when it uses the very ugly word "guarantee". I hope that we can clean this up. I think that such an option should be documented in the CHRP binding, I just can not agree to a new manditory facility. _ Regards /_) . _ /_ __ _ _() RL Arndt --- Making IBM computers, software friendly / \_/_(__/ (_(_|_/(_(_/\_ H61A/9444 Austin, Tx.
