This is your
trade off. You can spend the programming time doing a more
proper filesystem ;)
It all comes down to available memory.
We are talking about CPU's with a logical address space of 32K words.
Much of that is already used, so I need
something very small. And how 'correct' would it be to have a modern
file system running on an
HP2116 anyway? It may be far from
practical.
It depends on how useful/usable you want it to be.
