This is of course possible but I think it will complicate things in early stages, because currently there is no such linker support. Adding directories and possibly mutliple libraries to the apple2 target now needs additional makefiles. My suggestion is still to add file i/o support for a selected disk operating without bells and whistles, but keeping in mind the discussion and what you said about the different scenarios. Once this is done, file i/o can be used and remaining design/code problems resolved. Such problems could be memory issues, buffer allocation or whatever. The next step would be to add the necessary hooks of the disk operating system dependent routines where these hooks have not been supplied before. This step would also include moving stuff to subdirectories to separate stuff that depends on one disk i/o system from the common code. The final step would be to add code for a second disk operating system and polish the API in this process. Please note however, that this is just the way, I would tackle the problem, because I have learned that trying to solve too many problems at once will often not work for me. If someone goes ahead, ignores all my talk and implements all things at once, I will be happy about it. Different people have different ways of achieving something, and doing it step by step is mine.
