Re: [hatari-devel] Maybe a gemdos bug, I don't know

[Laurent Sallafranque <laurent.sallafranque@xxxxxxx>]

I use a memory card as a hard drive.

I always copy my main directory on this card (from linux).
So Linux did the copy on the card and one directory was 9 chars len.
TOS didn't like it.

I haven't got the case now, but I can reproduce it if you want.

Maybe this can never happen on a real falcon as you can only create a 8 
chars file name.
