This program fat95 can it do anything wrong to my disks ?
no, it only lets you see media that has been formated in Fat.
and i like it because it lets you use long file names (it doesn't truncate the names into 8 characters - "abcdefgh.xxx")

i have an 88 syquest and I used a mount file. it's been a long time so i can't recall the whole process.

this is what my PC formated file looks like:
Quote

/* Mountlist Entry for full Ms-Dos Disk.  
*  
* Disk Size:  88 Meg  
* Vendor and drive name:  SyQuest  SQ5110  
*/      
Surfaces = 1      
BlocksPerTrack = 1      
LowCyl = 0      
HighCyl = 173455      
DosType = 0x4d534400      
BufMemType = 1      
Device = csascsi.device      
FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem      
Unit = 2      
Flags = 0      
Mask = 0x7ffffffe      
MaxTransfer = 0x00ffffff      
StackSize = 2000      
Priority = 5      
GlobVec = -1      
Buffers = 5      
Activate = 1


change the Device depending on the name of your device driver and the Unit depending on where it is in the scsi line. and at the time I still used CrossDos which is why the FileSystem reflects that.
