I hope this doesn't bloat it to much that it won't fit on an 800K floppy!
The lite version is
available now, purely for RO3.1x machines with all filesystems and additions for later machines stripped out.
It doesn't currently work for RO3.5x/4.x, which I'll fix soon.

adding a lot of stuff for a feature I expect only a very tiny fraction of people would use.
I'm expecting the Pi side to be the main use for Partition Manager, as there are no free tools currently available. It's certainly the sole reason I started the project in the first place when I ran out of space on my DEV Pi!

One thing I always have to grub around with is enabling the HDMI 'overscan' in the pi config so that the image is the correct size.
All the common settings have now been added.

Will test MassFS on Unipod and A9, though IIRC last time I played with this I had issues finding a USB drive small enough that it'd cope with.
What is the issue there? Does MassFS fail to recognise large drives or is the issue when formatting them?
The filesystem doesn't have any low-level access to the drive, so I'm unsure what PM is going to do when you try to format an existing FAT drive (aka MassFS). Formatting an existing FileCore drive (aka MassFC) should be okay, I hope.
MassFS doesn't support MBR, so I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen when trying to initialise a drive that was FAT, as MBR and then creating a FAT partition. It's possibly going to fail, depending on how it addresses a FAT drive.
