?? future options ?? : Unix bootable from a cassette tape drive? :-)

?? c-64 unix server with ports to hook up one or more c-64's via CaTer (Cartridge Terminal) -- perhaps best done via tcp-ip 'ports'.

?? fuse[1] for c-64 to be able to 'read' other floppies / c-64 unix swap space over tcp-ip.??

?? "modern" 5.25" for c-64 via c-64 variant of greaseweazle[2] ??

I don't remember too much about it, other than:

- Because Commodore drives had ludicrously long file names for the era, paths like /etc/dev/joy1 didn't need any weirdness.

- Password encryption? What's that?

- What we would call "metadata" today was stored in USR files.

- Directory listing was agonizingly slow. I remember commandeering tracks 16 and 17 for my own hair-brained directory structure in an effort to speed things up.
