AFAIK NatFS used 512 Bytes clock size while AosFS uses 2K. SharkOberon 
is not the klatest version of Native. Lots was changed with files and 
disk modules...

Should be implemented in current version.

My ARM or ALO? ALO, of course is a toy for me.

I am using my ARM as a real PC including web server...

FAT can be mounted on Linux. and for the other disks: copy the files to 
Linux. I hate all the propriatary formats that Oberon uses... (Text, 
Fonts, Pictures, Window systems,

Window size can be changed by oberon.cfg ( check Getconfig output in 
oberon.log) or by changing 2 constants in ALO.DisplayX11.Mod and compiling.

That's also why I wanted to understand how the FrameBuffer

Source of Frambuffer version in LNO is available. For Font size: 
renaming the font files should work.
