Yep, that's the plan. (I'm having DSL stability issues at home ATM, 
right smack bang during the times when I can usually work on kernel 
hacking :-(  Line alive for 20 seconds, then dead for 60 seconds. Using 
a serial modem would work better).

I'll have to submit that for comments as-is, I really don't want to mess 
with the mm code.

Funny that - I left out these by accident, and still could mount my GEM 
FAT partition used to store kernel images. All I had to do was omit the 
'atari=no' option.

I'll have to verify that this also works with floppy, but my gut feeling 
is whenever you create a partition that requires special handling by the 
'atari' option, you end up with a partition that has cluster size larger 
than mm block size which means the filesystem is unusable since Linux 
2.6 anyway.

That needs someone to look into who understands the GEM FAT format - I 
might just have been setting the wrong combination of filesystem size, 
FAT size and cluster size that forced this error.

Seeing as I don't speak enough FAT, I hardly qualify to submit that ...

I'd guess so - I struggle to recall what this was for. Perhaps to talk 
to the clock chip on some Macs. Anyone?
