We have found that users are very happy to have access to the data on their Macintosh HFS volumes, and expect that users of the BeOS for Intel Architecture would get similar utility out of similar functionality.

The BeOS file system supports plug-in file system access, and plug-in file systems have already been written (by Be and third parties) for Macintosh HFS, ISO 9660 (a CD-ROM standard), and FAT (DOS) file system access. So support for additional file systems, if not coming directly from Be, is likely to come from somewhere.

Can the BeOS for Intel Architecture run Windows programs?
