Comments Legacy file system, not recommended for AmigaOS 4.x due to lack of long filename support. Can be used for bootloader partition in AmigaOS 4.x only setup. Current file system, bootable, can be used with AmigaOS 4.x, recovery tools available, not as fast as SFS, requires validation if disk error. Current file system, bootable, can be used with AmigaOS 4.x, some recovery tools available. Fast, does not require validation if disk error.
