You should read the documentation of FAT95. It describes step by step how to build a proper mount file.

This one should work:

Code: [Select]
Device = gvpscsi.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 0
BufMemType = 1
MaxTransfer = 0x20000
Mask = 0xfffffffe
Filesystem = l:fat95
StackSize = 4096
GlobVec = -1
Buffers = 200
Control = "+s -d -D +l"
Activate = 1
LowCyl = 0
BlockSize = 512
HighCyl = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
Surfaces = 1
DosType = 0x46415401

Fortunately FAT95 and I think also CrossDOS have the capability to read the PC partition table and adjust the numbers accordingly.

Without that feature you would have to enter proper values for LowCyl, HighCyl, BlocksPerTrack and Surfaces.

You would get better help if you would present some of your test results here. You alwys only say "can't get it to work" or "don't know how to proceed", but you never give any details, numbers, messages, screenshots, whatever you got.

managed to mount something with the correct size but it's all empty, nothing on it.

Just to be sure, you are aware, that Workbench is not a file explorer, aren't you? It only shows icons (.info files). An MS-DOS disk usually does not contain any Amiga icons.

To see all files you have to use the DOS shell/CLI or a file manager. Only in AmigaOS version 2 or later there is a menu item Window -> Show -> All files which you can activate.
