Description
One thing that Apple II Desktop lacks, that GS/OS and GEOS managed to handle, is the ability to read DOS 3.3 format disks. I feel as if this could be solved, and that launching BASIC programmes from DOS 3.3 diskettes, and perhaps even BRUNning binary files from them should be possible in Apple II Desktop.
Perhaps it would be possible to backport GSOS FSTs, or just provide a driver for this.
It would also be nice to access Pascal format volumes.

Research direction
Start by investigating how Apple II Desktop currently handles filesystem volumes and compare the proposed GS/OS FST or GEOS approach. Done would mean accessing DOS 3.3 and Pascal volumes, launching BASIC programs from DOS 3.3 disks, and possibly BRUNning binary files.
