Linked lists go back a long way. FAT is one, in a sense. DECtape file systems for DOS
(also RSTS) are linked, in the blocks. The same goes for the CDC 6000 file system (more
precisely, it has contiguous blocks within a track, and links from the last block in the
track to the next track number).

I believe the original Amiga file system also used a linked-list approach. That way you
could, theoretically, reconstruct a file from any one of it?s data blocks.
