    Hello everybody, I have a little question, and I hope someone can help.

    Now, I have a Digital DEC station 3100 at work, and there is a 3.5' floppy
drive built in. The DEC runs on ultrix which is very close to unix, and it
also looks very much like a SUN station. The people at Digital said they
installed a program that makes the floppy drive MSDOS compatible.

    So, the problem is, how do I use the floppy drive, and the program.
Do I use "tar" or do I use "cp filename /dev/(some device name)"? I tried
to call Digital, but the key people are on vacation, so I am tring my luck
here.

    If you know what to do, please send me a note. Thanks in advance.
