Is there a UDF filesystem driver for DOS? (Users)

 Yes, I was hoping for 1.02 and 2.50 support...

I believe srdisk v 2.09 supports sector sizes > 512 bytes.

Thanks for the tip, it will come in very handy to know only a single word of MSDOS.SYS needs to be patched to allow the > 512 sector support "natively."

Yes, I that patch will allow us to use our > 2TB drives in the future with MS-DOS and keep it alive for many more years!

@ glenmcc:

So, perhaps Caldara DOS has some sort of built-in UDF driver? I will certainly test, and thanks for the info. However, believe most DVDs use UDF 1.02 and also have an ISO 9660 filesystem as well. This is called a UDF bridge format, if I recall correctly. Are you sure your DVD is strictly a UDF-only filesystem?
