> I have MultiDOS installed on my system. I don't use PCMOUNTALL … Although I can't claim to know what I'm doing WRT MultiDOS, I do use PCMOUNTALL (Amiga 2000, DOS 2.04, internal DF0: only) and am always amazed when I can insert and read both Amiga and MSDOS formatted disks in df0: -MultiDOS seems to sense which format is on the inserted disk and react appropriately — dunno how or why 🙂 WRT PCFormat — I only did one disk and don't remember having any particular problems. I did have PCFormat.spc in the s: directory but couldn't tell you now if that was really necessary. BTW, I think that when MultiDOS creates a directory on a DOS formatted disk — it doesn't fully initialize the directory — until the first file is written into that directory. I had created some directories on a DOS formatted disk with MultiDOS (but left them empty) and Norton Disk Doctor objected when checking the disk on a PC. Directories that had at least one file written did not seem to be a problem. REC ——
