Preface This manual is in two parts: Part 1 - Guide to using PC5086 and PC5286 Part 2 - Guide to MS-DOS V.3.30A (Microsoft® Disk Operating System). Each chapter in Part 1 gives an introductory description of a part, or parts, of the PC: how each part works and what it can be used for. Highly technical information is included in some chapters, to be used when writing programs and performing specialised tasks with the PC. This level of information is not comprehensive. It is supplied to supplement the Industry Standard documentation, where Amstrad PCs include features additional to Industry Standard PCs. Do not worry if you do not understand the technical information; the majority of users most certainly will not need to understand this information. The first thing you will probably want to do is install the PC, rather than read the manual! Chapter 3 describes the installation steps, so if you feel confident that you know how you want to set up your PC, you could start installing straight away. If you are new to computing you may want to understand what you are doing during the installation process, in which case, you could read Chapter 2 first, which gives a broad view of the possible uses of the PC. Note that most of the information given applies to all PCs but differences between the models are clearly indicated, where necessary. Many of the example screen displays are taken from just one model, when the display would be almost identical for the other models. Part 2 is a tutorial and reference guide to the operating system, MS-DOS, which is supplied with your PC. If you run into difficulties, you should look at “Troubleshooting” in Part 1 Chapter 14, and Part 2 Chapter 10 to see if you can find out what has gone wrong, and what to do about it. If you experience difficulties which are not covered in this manual, consult your dealer. - !: i PART ONE Guide to PC5086 and PC5286 Part One - Contents 1.

  • Wikipedia: Design of the FAT File System
    Design of the FAT file system A FAT file system is a specific type of computer file system architecture and FAT a family of industry-standard file systems utilizing it. Developer(s) Microsoft, SCP, IBM, [3] The FAT file system is a legacy file system which is simple and robust. It Compaq, Digital offers good performance even in very light-weight implementations, but Research, Novell, cannot deliver the same performance, reliability and scalability as some Caldera modern file systems. It is, however, supported for compatibility reasons by Full name File Allocation Table: nearly all currently developed operating systems for personal computers and FAT12 (12- many home computers, mobile devices and embedded systems, and thus is a bit version), well suited format for data exchange between computers and devices of almost FAT16 (16- any type and age from 1981 through the present. bit versions), Originally designed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, FAT was soon adapted and FAT32 (32-bit version used almost universally on hard disks throughout the DOS and Windows 9x with 28 bits used), eras for two decades. Today, FAT file systems are still commonly found on exFAT (64- floppy disks, USB sticks, flash and other solid-state memory cards and bit versions) modules, and many portable and embedded devices. DCF implements FAT as Introduced 1977 (Standalone the standard file system for digital cameras since 1998.[4] FAT is also utilized Disk BASIC-80) for the EFI system partition (partition type 0xEF) in the boot stage of EFI- FAT12: August 1980 compliant computers. (SCP QDOS) FAT16: August 1984 For floppy disks, FAT has been standardized as ECMA-107[5] and (IBM PC DOS 3.0) ISO/IEC 9293:1994[6] (superseding ISO 9293:1987[7]).

  • File Allocation Table - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 22
    File Allocation Table - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 22 File Allocation Table From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia File Allocation Table (FAT) is a file system developed by Microsoft for MS-DOS and is the primary file system for consumer versions of Microsoft Windows up to and including Windows Me. FAT as it applies to flexible/floppy and optical disc cartridges (FAT12 and FAT16 without long filename support) has been standardized as ECMA-107 and ISO/IEC 9293. The file system is partially patented. The FAT file system is relatively uncomplicated, and is supported by virtually all existing operating systems for personal computers. This ubiquity makes it an ideal format for floppy disks and solid-state memory cards, and a convenient way of sharing data between disparate operating systems installed on the same computer (a dual boot environment). The most common implementations have a serious drawback in that when files are deleted and new files written to the media, directory fragments tend to become scattered over the entire disk, making reading and writing a slow process. Defragmentation is one solution to this, but is often a lengthy process in itself and has to be performed regularly to keep the FAT file system clean. Defragmentation should not be performed on solid-state memory cards since they wear down eventually. Contents 1 History 1.1 FAT12 1.2 Directories 1.3 Initial FAT16 1.4 Extended partition and logical drives 1.5 Final FAT16 1.6 Long File Names (VFAT, LFNs) 1.7 FAT32 1.8 Fragmentation 1.9 Third party

Historic file system designs have optimized for reading, as read throughput was the I/O per formance bottleneck. Since increasing main-memory cache sizes effectively reduce disk read traffic [BAKER91], disk write performance has become the I/O performance bottleneck [OUST89]. This thesis presents both simulation and implementation analysis ofthe performance of read-optimized and write-optimized file systems. An example of a file system with a disk layout optimized for writing is a log-structured file system, where writes are bundled and written sequentially.
