I was responsible for altering Memphis to use a Dynamic Area instead
of the System Sprite area, but I've not changed the FS code
significantly.
Short of a complete rewrite I don't think Memphis as a filing system
is ever going to be reliable enough for Scrap. If you're concerned
about FS integrity eg. the copy in RAM is the only one, then DON'T use
Memphis.
But thanks for the plug, Andy!
