Johnathan- > MultiDos will automatically switch between handlers when it detects that > type of disk. DF0: can be used for both PC and Amiga disks I know that. When I first set MultiDos in my system, that's the way I used it. I ran into trouble, however, when I tried to format an AmyDos disk under Dos 2.04. It would go through the formatting procedure, but would return an error on completion. 'Unable to Format Disk'. I don't know if it's a bug in the way MultiDos handles filesystem switching, or something inherent in 2.04 – either way, it wouldn't format right. I found I could correct it by taking PCMountAll out of my Startup-Sequence and mounting MC0: and MC1: the hard way (Mount MCx:) It works for me, it only adds a second or two to my startup time, and I can format both Amy and PC disks.
