This is a file system translator (and driver) for compatible Apple IIgsemulators. It depends on emulator support (but should not cause problemsif run on real hardware or an unsupportive emulator).

This FST exposes a shared folder from your native file system as a volumewithin GS/OS. (The volume will not be available from ProDOS 8). Readingor writing a file on the :Host drive will read or write the file directlyon the native file system. File Types, Finder Info, and Resource Forksare supported.

In general any software that works with the HFS FST should work with theHost FST.

Currently, only GSPlus (0.13+) has support for the host fst.

1. See thereleases page for a disk image.

2. Install thehost.fst andhost.driver in your*:System: folder

3. Bleeding edge versions of GSPlus have a config option (F4, Host FST Configuration) toselect the host fst directory. (On older versions it doesn't work correctly).

4. If you're using an older version of GSPlus, shutdown GSPlus and manually edit theconfig.txt file. Add a line like:

    g_cfg_host_path = /Users/me/IIgs/

Large volume sizes can cause a buffer overflow Finder's code and cause a crash (usually when displaying the File Info window).This is fixed as of System 6.0.4.
