Rumor has it that Roger Merchberger may have mentioned these words:

I did just that - boy howdy does OS-9 boot fast at even an emulated 10Mhz! ;-)

Admittedly, they're just quick tests (the touch utility comes with NitrOS9) 
but I couldn't make a filename with either '/' or '\' - it assumes the '/' 
as part of the path, and just drops '\' and anything after it & just 
creates the "prefix" part.

I didn't peek/poke/dEd/etc. with the FATs or anything...

Laterz,
"Merch"
