Upon close examination of a "diff" between the filesystems "minix" and
"elksfs" I have concluded that elksfs is merely a clone of minix, with
changes for the new name but nothing of real value. This effectively
means that the minix filesystem was included in entirety in the ELKS
kernel source TWICE. There seems to be zero documentation specifying the
layout of elksfs, and zero tools that create one, thus to me it is quite
clear that elksfs never came to actually exist. I have removed it and
pushed the removal to Git, reducing the total ELKS kernel code by 75 KiB
and removing some unnecessary configuration options.
Next on the chopping block: everything that depends on CONFIG_NOT_NOW is
potentially vaporware and/or bloat, though some of it looks potentially
useful. I've acquired the LIM EMS 4.0 specification from:
http://www.arl.wustl.edu/~lockwood/class/cs306/class-resources/gpe/limems41.doc.html
And I would like to develop support for expanded memory, possibly tying
into the swap subsystem. Does anyone on the list have some hardware with
EMS memory for testing?
