Help: CrossDos Problem?
« on: June 02, 2003, 09:54:48 AM »
Help.  I'm fiddling with a new install of Workbench 3, and I am having problems accessing 720k PC floppies. I was under the impression that CrossDos just worked magically in the background, but all that happens when I insert a PC disk (DD, 720k, readable on PC) is that a 'DF0:?????' icon appears and thats it.

What am doing wrong ? I wondered if it was down to something in the Mountlist but apparantly on a fresh WB3.0 install, there ISN'T a devs:mountlist ?

Aha, ta for that! I'll give that a go tonight.

I only need it temporarily to install IDEFix (the software is stuck in a LHA file on a PC floppy) so that I can test the CDROM on my custom A1200 rebuild.  Of course once I've put the soldering iron down on this project, I'll be AmiTCPing everything up :-)

Cheers,

Yeah, worked a treat. I'm begining to think I've forgotten more things about Amiga than I ever knew!

Still battling with IDEFix97, (see this thread ) though :-(

Once I've put an OS on it properly and I'm happy with the config, there will be lots of new pics on my amiga page detailing the conversion of a vanilla A1200 into an A1200D (Sparc) !  :-P
