The Amiga's filesystem is now on Linux and Mac, thanks to an emulated driver (www.howtogeek.com)

Amiga computers may have been popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, especially in media production, but their filesystems are not directly compatible with modern computers. The new 'amifuse' project aims to fix that with a new filesystem driver built around an invisible m68k CPU emulator.

Amifuse is a FUSE driver for macOS and Linux, allowing you to natively mount disk images using the Amiga's Professional File System 3 (PFS3). The project's documentation says other Amiga filesystems might work, "but have not been tested." Disks are read-only by default, but you can enable the experimental read-write support through a command-line argument.

Howtogeek has real articles? I thought it was an SEO scheme.

Surprisingly, they do, they have some low quality misses sometimes but overall I think they have some fine articles lol. Def not in-line with their name though lmfao
