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.
