> For some reason I can't get PC0: or PC1: to work on my machine. Kevin, What version of Amiga OS do you have? In version 2.1 which includes CrossDos you use the FORMAT program out of the System directory/drawer/folder on your SYS: partition. (If you have a bridgeboard (BB) with Janus 2.1, you should first set Flipper to MAN and select DF0. If you don't have a BB, nevermind!) This program will have the appropriate selection to format PC0: to 1.44 MB. You can also select the label from the requestor that appears after clicking format on the FORMAT selector. The PCUtil programs come from version 1.3. I doubt that you'll be able to use these programs with good results on a high density drive. This is my PC0 file for a high density drive: /* CrossDOS file system entry * * This file enables CrossDOS on the built-in floppy drive normally * referred to as DF0:. PC1 does the same for DF1. By creating new versions * of this file and changing the Unit line to use other numbers, you can * make CrossDOS available on other devices. For example, changing the value * of Unit to 2 would create a mount file that would enable CrossDOS on DF2. */ FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem Device = mfm.device Unit = 0 Flags = 1 Surfaces = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 18 Reserved = 1 Interleave = 0 LowCyl = 0 HighCyl = 79 Buffers = 5 BufMemType = 0 StackSize = 600 Priority = 5 GlobVec = -1 DosType = 0x4D534400 This is my PC1 file for a 880K/df 720K/PC 3.5 inch drive: /* CrossDOS file system entry for PC1 * * This file enables CrossDOS on the first external floppy drive normally * referred to as DF1:.
