Humm…..that is what I did, I presume you left Mountlist in the Devs directory of the SYS: disk and I am guessing that you got no prompt from the system telling you it had trouble mounting df2:. Do a DISKCHANGE DF2: and then try it, it should at least access the drive. If it does, you have to format a new 5 1/4 disk and all should be well. It does not recognize the IBM format. If that doesn't work, I can only guess that you are missing a necessary line from the disk to the computer. I am using the Amiga 1020 drive, so don't have any experience with a "foreign" drive interfaced to the Amiga.
