> 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.
