I use a mountlist like this and fat95 on aminet in the
DH0:L drawer. Your device and unit must be changed
if different as well in this mountlist. Mine was unit 5.
I formatted my disks on the PC and then the Amiga
could read them with this fat95 script mounted.
Maybe this will help or email me.

Most blank ZIP disks come PC formatted i think,
(and MAC).

The Amiga can read these with my mountlist and fat95 installed.
I had an icon with C:mount in it as the default,
and with the same name as the mountlist.
I just double clicked the icon to mount my ZIP
when needed.

just an optional  tip when copying files between PC and Amigas, try to lha or zip the files so as not to lose
any filenames or protection bits. It's safer
if files are in an archive.  :-)
