Hi

>But I cant seem to read any PC floppys now. I put them in >and just get DF0: ????? .

The DF0: is the icon for the readable Amiga disk. You can check this by trying to format and it will format as an Amiga disk. There should be another icon for a disk that is a PC disk. If you have PC0: and its mounted what happens of you put an Amiga disk in do you get a PC0:NDOS icon that comes on and then disappears when it recognises the Amiga disk. Try putting PC0: and PC1: in the drawer. My PC1: is for a High Density Drive. You need to get CED or a text editor and have a look at what your PC0 actually has written in the mount file. It could have been edited in its lifetime as a High Density Drive. It should say mfm.device and refer to CrossDOSfilesystem in L. Unit number should be 0. ( zero ). The tools icon is a hot key thats a red herring. The unit number is key here as it could have been changed. PC0: could be mounted but not on DF0: Clear as mud.

It was the CDfilesystem that needed to be in L:

PC0 wouldn't work unless CDFileSystem was in the drawer L :shrug:

Oh well! Glad you got it working mate

Yay indeed! While i am awaiting my replacement HD. (working with one floppy is a {bleep}) I got my 32 MB 72 Pin Simm for my accelerator and popped that bad boy in. Now My A2000 is blazing along with 40 MB RAM @ 50 MHz ! Cant wait for the HD and to get my CDROM going.

If anyone wants the 2 MB Amiga memory card I destroyed somehow (maybe static) PM me and you pay for shipping its yours.

PC0 works without CDFileSystem. I just took mine out and rebooted and PC0 reads PC formatted disks 720K. The mount file makes no reference to CDFileSystem, only CrossDOSFileSystem... So perhaps someone could explain what you are talking about.

Device-mfm.device
Unit=0
Flags=1
Surfaces=2
BlocksPerTrack=9
LowCyl=0
HighCyl=79

FileSystem=L:CrossDosFileSystem
Stacksize=2000
Priority=5
GlobVec=1
DOSType=0x4D534400
Buffers=5
BuffMemType=0
Activate=1

CDFileSystem is to do with CD not floppy disks

I was getting tired of typing CrossDos so many times so i truncated it to CD. I thought it was understood since that is what this thread was discussing. Sorry for the confusion. and actually its things like that that confused me in the first place. Next time I will just cut and paste to make sure I make it clear.
