Thanks for the input. The CrossDOS SHOULD behave as you've described, and does IF the disk has some vestige of MSDOS formatting on it. (I put a Mac formatted floppy in the drive, and only get the DF0:???? icon, no PC0:???? icon. :^( I double-checked the ToolTypes, and verified that there are 2 ToolTypes: UNIT= – which corresponds to the drive unit. ACTIVATE=1 – which is the same regardless of drive unit. Note: I have noticed that the PCx icons are in actuality simple text files which contain a mountlist entry for the CrossDOS handler. It seems the UNIT= ToolType just supercedes the UNIT= setting in the Mountlist for that icon – kinda' cool! (Couldn't find a description of ACTIVATE in the mountlist keyword reference section of the manual either.) What version of KickStart are you using? Do you have a HiD floppy drive? What kind of system (1000,2000,3000,4000)? Thanks for your help, Erik Flom P.S. Is KCommodity part of 2.1 or is it 3rd party?
