In case anyone out there is interested, I have written (actually, I *am*
*writing*) a ProDOS filesystem driver for the Linux kernel. It allows
you to access files on ProDOS Zip disks, image files, etc. from any
Linux program, transparently (think of it as Pro.FST for Linux. :-) )

The driver must be compiled from source and should work with any 2.4.x
kernel. It could probably be ported to 2.2.x easily as well. The source
is available at the following URL if anyone is interested.

It is currently VERY limited (read-only, hides resource forks,
inefficient, etc.) and the code is strictly pre-alpha. But it's fun to
play with nonetheless.
