  MEMDISK - file system for memory

MEMDISK designed for storing files
memory areas. Memory may be fragmented, so a few chip I2C
EEPROM can be used as a
disc. It is also useful for ramdiskov in
page-RAM or files stored in
EPROM.

The structure of the MEM / 0 was first ideey.V revised version 
of MEM / 1 were added pointers to roditelya.Tak that now only 
one pointer to operate the file or directory, and there is no 
need to memorization of pointers to elements of the path.


This makes it easier, for example, deleting files or
moving to another directory.


            Disc structure


  content length description
+0 "MEM", # 1 April the name of the file system
4 3 characters + # 0 4 a name of a physical disk
+8 Structure F Є26 file descriptor
... structure D Є26 directory handle
... structure A Є7 descriptor area

                    Data

The first file descriptor (structure F) is always present. 
Specifies the first file or directory on disk, contains a 
useful amount of free space and a pointer to a chain of free 
area (Structures A). May also indicate

parent directory - a value of 0 means that it is the root.
Thus, the blank disc contains an 8-byte header, a structure F 
and at least one structure A. 


               Structure

Structure F - file descriptor
Structure D - directory descriptor
Structure A - data area

All pointers and field lengths are in the format
little Endian (least significant byte first)


        Example - a blank disc 8kB

Selected for the sample unit is
M24C64 - I2C 8kB EEPROM, connected to
AY-3-8912.

Base Pointer # E0A0, which means: memory
connected to AY (# E0 - bit 0 Port A is
SDA, bit 1 is the SCL.), And extension -
# A0. Connection number # E2 is used to
computers TC2068 means: bit 4-port
A is the SDA, bit 5 is SCL. Internal number
IC M24C64 may be in the range # A0 .. # AE (only even values) 
and set using the inputs E0, E1 and E2 chip.
