- What is it?
- ===========
- A Cross-Dos/MSH like program. It will allow you to
- read MS-DOS disks with a standard 3 1/2 drive.
-
- Installation:
- =============
- Copy l/MultiDosFileSystem to l:
- Copy devs/multidos.device to devs:
- Execute PcMountAll from Workbench or CLI(put it in
- your s:user-startup).
-
- What do I do now?
- =================
- MS-DOS disks will now be available through dfx: as
- all other Amiga disks.
-
-
-
- What is MultiDos? If you have heard of CrossDos or
- MSH, it is just about the same thing. Only better,
- since you can read both MS-DOS and AMIGA-DOS disks from
- the same Device name (DF0:, DF1:, DF2: and DF3:).
- There is also a non standard format supported. (MS-DOS
- on trackdisk blocks, gives you 880K disks.) Just note
- that 880K format is not readable on a MS-DOS computer.
- It is possible to make a mountlist entry to support
- this.
-
- If MultiDos are mounted as MDx:, it will steal DFx:.
- This is done to cut down the diskchange overhead. This
- will also make it possible to read MS-DOS diskettes from
- DFx:. If you mount MultiDos whith another name, it will
- not steal DFx:.
