Eric; There is NOTHING magic about DI0:! DF0: is the ONLY drive that is special, that is AmigaDOS knows about it by name and knows where it is located (to a much lesser extent DF1:, DF2 and DF3 are special too). Otherwise, all other drives are unknown to the system until they are defined. Thus, if you try to mount MFA: (or whatever) and the system comes back with "DI0: already mounted" then you have two thing that have been done already… First, somewhere in your startup process you have already mounted DI0: (that is the only way that the name DI0: could mean anything to amigados) and Second, you have somehow related MFA: to DI0: (through an assign statement or an alias). There are no other possibilies that I know of. I don't know of any icon files for crossdos, but a mount would also occur if there is a crossdos driver icon and the icon is located in the expansion directory when the binddrivers command is run (binddrivers essentially mounts whatever it finds in expansion).
