It would be nice supporting the MFS

An alternative to native filesystem support is to read and write disk images in userspace. Aside from not increasing the kernel’s attack surface or imposing a licensing constraint, it has the benefit of being portable to other operating systems.
My thoughts - something like hfsutils might be best for this purpose.

For example, I created a (so far) read-only implementation of MFS for Advanced Mac Substitute[1] (an emulator plus reimplementation of Mac OS for running 68K applications).

If someone does seek to implement MFS, at the very least you might find the comments useful.
Cheers,
Josh
