HostFS seems not to be usefully functional. I can confirm that both
*Create and *Access are broken, for example (the former returns a "Not
found" error and the latter simply does nothing). As *Create - or
OS_File 7 - is run as part of the boot sequence (in !Scrap.!RunImage, to
be precise), this means the emulator cannot boot.
I also couldn't get the "pressing both Windows keys" trick to work. In
fact, a bit of fiddling with OS_Byte 121 confirms that the left Windows
key returns a value of 125, but the right one does nothing at all! This
is a Microsoft keyboard supplied by R-Comp with the ARMini, and the key
I assume to be the right Windows key (next to the menu key) isn't
actually marked with the Windows logo. I don't have HID loaded. Might
want to think up a new shortcut before releasing this!
