What is so magic about IFFL? Code it yourself. |

Interestingly, I could predict this kind of reply before I read it. :) One could ask also, what is so magic about it that (afaik) no sourcecode to a fast-scanning IFFL system has been released. It's still a pride for those who use it right?
Well, at least my lame brain has finally understood how jobcode $e0 can be used for easy custom decoding of sector (ie. decode only link bytes), so maybe you'll see someday covertbitops IFFL-system, with source :)

In case you have not looked at their site:

I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for.. |

Those are IRQ-loaders for single files. |

I might code something in near future. But it will be for learning purposes only and will most possibly suck. However, you'll get the idea.. |

I am far from familiar with actually driving the device, but I can imagine that the IFFL driver needs to instruct the device not to read the first Track/Sector reference from the file entry in the dir-track 18, but rather use one you provide when initializing the reading.
Of course the ordinary TS chain can be followed then, retrieving the data belonging together.
The huge files you usually see (at least in the early 90s) is probably BS as the device would not reallocate sectors as these are reserved in the BAM block (and as said before the file-entry is not needed).
