I formatted and partitioned the disk with FWB's Hard Disk ToolKit on a PowerComputing 100 running System 7.5.1. In DOS the MO drive is I:, and if I put a DOS-formatted disk in the drive, Executor will recognize it as a DOS HD. If I put the Mac formatted disk in and type executor -macdrives I the partition doesn't appear. Is this just an unimplemented part of Executor or do I need something like the Hard Disk ToolKit to recognize the Mac formatted MO disk? Also, Executor doesn't like the way Windows 95 handles MO drives and will crash when it starts to check for the MO disk. I also see the slowdown accessing DOS drives in full-screen DOS mode in Win95 but not in DOS6.22. --- Stephen Su ssu@garnet.berkeley.edu
