Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me out. I recently had a big hard drive crash and lost
my driver for my Power XL disk drive. I have got one installed as PC2 now - I am
running an A1500 with two internal drives - and I can't seem to get it to realise the
drive is there to write or format to. I have the following in my dosdriver icon:
C:Mount
and then
ACTIVATE=1
UNIT=2
and my mountlist is as follows:
/* CrossDOS file system entry
*
* This file enables CrossDOS on the built-in floppy drive normally
* referred to as DF0:. PC1 does the same for DF1. By creating new versions
* of this file and changing the Unit line to use other numbers, you can
* make CrossDOS available on other devices. For example, changing the value
* of Unit to 2 would create a mount file that would enable CrossDOS on DF2.
*/
FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
Device = mfm.device
Unit = 0
Flags = 1
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 18
Reserved = 1
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 79
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
StackSize = 600
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534400
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can read and write 1.76meg floppies and also I can do Mac ones, so before you ask I have already
installed the required software patch! :)
If you can help me out of this problem I will be very happy as I need to transfer a load of archived PC files to floppy for a friend.
Thanks in advance.
