-
- What is it?
-
- Ever had the need to access a complete disk like a file?
- That's what RawDisk-Handler does. RawDisk: will be a file
- with length "disk-capacity". I don't really know how
- to explain this; if you need RawDisk:, you'll know anyway.
-
- Why is it useful?
- * Use GNU-tar (in multi-volume mode) to transfer files.
- * Compress a NDOS-disk using LhA or gzip instead of dms.

- How do you use it?
-
- Look at the MountList file (RawDisk). It is set up for the use
- with MS-DOS-Disks using CrossDOS (part of AmigaOS 2.1 and later).
- RawDisk should detect HD-disks automatically, using the MountList
- data only if this fails. However, I don't know whether it works...
- I would very much appreciate hearing from you whether it works.
-
- If you use AmigaOS 2.1 or later:
- Copy RawDisk to SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers
- Copy RawDisk-Handler to l:
-
- If you use AmigaOS 2.0:
- Add an entry to devs:MountList, using the file "RawDisk"
- as a guideline
- Copy RawDisk-Handler to l:
-
- If you use AmigaOS 1.x:
- Update your operating system, then try again
-
- Before using RawDisk:, type "Mount RawDisk:"
