This is a space for miscellaneous notes which don't necessarily fit in a structured document.

CRC32

SerialDisk uses the CRC32/POSIX algorithm to generate checksums.

Atari ST drive letters

TOS can accept drive letters from A-P. Mounting a drive with a "higher" letter will work, but causes issues when attempting to access the drive. As A and B are usually used for floppy disks, SerialDisk accepts drive letters C-P.

Reset-proof applications

There is lots of good documentation on the internet describing how warm-reset-proof application work, but I couldn't find a simple example.

Thanks to TOS disassembly efforts, the relevant code in TOS can now be found online.

I've created reset-proof example code which can run in Easy68K.
