The OS/2 user group (UK) BBS and the OS2 support BBS (UK) do have sample
source code available for creating your own IFS. Basically it is a DLL
with pre-set entry points for write, read, chkdsk, etc. I can mail you
the source if you want (if I can find it) it is however poorly
documented.
PS it's also on the OS2 shareware BBS (USA).
