Could you tell me this–How do I specifically ask for my internal floppy drive in a mount list? Is it determined my unit #, Device name (i.e. MessyDisk.device or HDDisk.device) or a combination? Also, is dos 2 Dos more intuitive than MessyDos or CrossDos? Thanks, -SJK

Dos-2-Dos is more of a copy program than CrossDOS or MessyDOS. You have to specify the unit number so that the right drive is accessed. I would suggest that you take the mountlist for DF0: and modify it as needed to use it for MF0: (or whatever you decided to call that MS-DOS drive. At any rate, look in it for the unit number. This is what I have in my mountlist (which must be named mountlist.msdosFS) MF0: Device = mfm.device Unit = 0 Flags = 1 /* Allow 5 1/4" drives */ Surfaces = 2 BlocksPerTrack = 9 Reserved = 1 Interleave = 0 * SecOrg = 1 */ LowCyl = 0; HighCyl = 79 /* 80 track drive */ FileSystem = L:MSDOSFileSystem Buffers = 5 BufMemType = 0 Stacksize = 4000 Priority = 5 GlobVec = -1 DosType = 0x4D534400 Mount = 0; Hope that helps. (Mine is for CrossDOS.) ……Betty
