I wouldn't try it using trackdisk.device. Possible, but almost as
tricky as writing an FS. I would use asynchronous packets sent to the
filesystem. Take a look at the DOS technical reference manual and
libraries/dosextens.h.
I believe you could scarf some code from some fish disk programs
that implement SendPacket(), etc.
