- [I am going to repost this question and I am going to provide more
- information.]
-
- I thought that under NS2.1, 720K DOS disks could be read. I also thought
- that this was true for NS3.0. However, whenever I insert a 720K DOS disk
- into my NeXT running NS3.0, I get the following messages on my Console:
-
- DOS File System: Initialized
- sh: 26: not found
- sh: 3F^Ef^EF@: not found
-
- Workspace then _ejects_ the disk. It will not accept a 720K DOS disk.
- These disks _do_ have volumne labels. It does not seem relate to the
- labels although that was a good assumption...
-
- This problem is happening on multiple workstations, all Mono slabs. This
- is not an isolated event.
-
- This is for _any_ 720K DOS disk. I do not have the ability to test 1.44M
- DOS disks because the only PC I have around here is my old laptop, hence
- the 720K disks...
-
- Anyone know what is going on?
