I see no purpose in a shared format disc. Either format as Filecore for
exclusive use with RISC OS, or in a different format (invariably FAT) for
data interchange.

Partition tables are then not an issue for FileCore (not ADFS or SCSIFS, as
they are just hardware drivers), as anything it doesn't recognise as its
own is passed around the image filing systems, and its up to them to find
any partition tables and valid partitions.
