Copy fat95 to L, mfm.device to Devs and add an entry to Devs:Mountlist according to the fa95 manual.

If you don't own a legal copy of Workbench 2.1 or above or of CrossDOS, you don't have mfm.device and cannot use Fat95.

Better get MessyDOS. It comes with everything you need. Copy MessyFileSystem to L, messydisk.device to Devs and add the contents of Mountlist to Devs:Mountlist. Then add mount msh: to S:StartupII.

But everytime I try to edit the Mountlist the enterkey and cutandpaste stops working,


What does that mean ? Since when had Kick 1.3 cut & paste ? And why does it stop working ? Which kind of editor do you use ?

exporting it to PC and editing it on the PC and then importing back to the amiga doesn't neither.


That's because Windows uses different newline characters. If you load the file into Notepad (aka Editor), you'll see that the text does not have any line breaks at all. If you load it into Wordpad or Word, the text is shown correctly, but when you save the changes, it uses the wrong newline characters. If you could edit the file in Linux or with an editor which allows to specify linefeed as newline character, then it would work.

Anyhow, instead of editing devs:mountlist, you can copy the messydos mountlist as devs:msh-mountlist and then use the following command:

mount msh: from devs:msh-mountlist
