/*
 * MDCFS: Minimal Dos Compatible File System
 *
 *   These routines provide the bare minimum needed to read and write
 * files on an MS-DOS format floppy disk. You could use them with a hard
 * disk as well, however since only 12 bit FAT's are supported, you are
 * limited to a total of 4096 clusters, and total drive space is limited
 * to 32MB due to 16 bit sector numbers (assuming 512 byte sectors).
 *
 *   The functions were written for use in embedded systems (where memory
 * is often limited), and therefore provide only the basic open, read/write,
 * close and delete operations. I have documented the functions which
 * manipulate the directory and FAT, and it should be fairly easy to add
 * other features if you need them (directory display etc.). Only access to
 * files in the ROOT directory is provided, subdirectories are NOT supported.
 *
 *   For simplicity and memory conservation, these functions buffer only 1
 * sector (512 bytes) in memory. This makes them run quite slowly, but is
 * adaquate for reading/writing setup information and occational data logging.
 * If you have lots of memory and need extra speed, you could modify the
 * functions to read/write multiple sectors (a cluster would be easy).
 * You can also experiment with different interleave factors, to obtain
 * optimim performance with the existing I/O functions.
 *
 *   As they stand, the functions really support access to only one drive
 * at a time. You can use multiple drives if you call "open_drive()" between
 * disk operations to the separate drives. This "switches" the active drive
 * to the specified one. Note however, that the selected drive will seek to
 * track zero each time this function is called, so performing many small
 * operations on more than one drive gets VERY inefficent. DO NOT read or
 * write to an open file located on any drive other than the currently
 * selected one! Call "open_drive()" first!
 *
 *   Concurrent access to multiple files (on the same drive) is supported,
 * however since only one "work" buffer is used for directory/FAT access,
 * the drive may have to perform extra read/write operation when switching
 * from one file to the other. For this reason, it is best to try and do
 * as many reads or writes as possible on one file before accessing others.
 * Avoid many small operations to multiple files.
 *
 *   At present, only the first copy of the disk File Allocation Table
 * (FAT) is used by these functions.
 *
 *   Functions read/write data in RAW (binary) form, without regard for
 * NEWLINE characters etc. If you want to read/write ASCII text, you will
 * have to write "wrapper" functions to drop RETURN (0x0D) characters on
 * reading, and to add them before NEWLINE (0x0A) when writing.
 *
 *   Due to the use of 'C' structures, Version 3.0 (or later) of MICRO-C
 * is REQUIRED! It should not be difficult to compile with a different
 * compiler, but I have not attempted to do so.
 *
 *   You can compile this DEMO program to run under DOS with the MICRO-C
 * DOS compiler (available from our BBS: 613-256-6289). To use the functions
 * without DOS, replace the I/O routines (at the end of this file) with the
 * ones from the file DK86IO.C, and compile it with our stand-alone
 * 8086 Developers Kit.
