I recall a few people posting about not being able to mount DOS floppies  
under 3.0. I'm having trouble with this as well, and noticed that the  
DOS.label file in /usr/filesystems/DOS.fs contains utter garbage:

3     {   

Not very pretty. The console log shows something to the effect of:

DOS File System: Initialized
Sep 28 17:24:17 Workspace: Mounted floppy disk at /3Ff91{@ F

Sometimes the DOS disk shows up the Workspace (with a cheery little name  
that matches the console log entry), sometimes it doesn't. I don't seem to  
be able to eject it in any event. (The eject menu is DIM, and dragging it  
to the recycler does nothing).

Can I just changed the contents of DOS.label? Anyone else experiencing  
this?

WRT Mac floppies, thanks to whoever posted the little goodie about  
removing anything other than mac.fs. That did the trick and FloppyWorks no  
longer has a stranglehold on my Mac floppies. The lack-o-eject plagues Mac  
disks too on occasion. I'm not running Engage...

In a related note, be aware that if you drag a Mac file from a Mac fs to a  
NeXT fs, you will lose the resource fork. To access the .#rsrc# file, it  
MUST still be on a Mac fs.
