I've been following the thread about mountlists for the Zip drives, so that the Amiga/CrossDOS can read the IBM formatted disks. I have 3 mountlists for it now. Since I've never had to do a mountlist before, how do I go about using them on a 3000 3.1 OS Amiga? Jim

Put it in your devs: drawer, and access it through a MOUNT statement in User-Startup. Something like Mount xxxx (drive name) from devs:mountlist.xxxx (whatever designation identifies this mountlist) You'll have to re-boot for this to take effect. —Betty

>Put it in your devs: drawer, and access it through a MOUNT statement in User-Startup. < Betty, I was just looking at my devs: drawer. There is a DosDrivers drawer in it that has all the drivers/mountlists for things like my CDROM and PC0:, CrossDos floppy driver. If I attach the mountlist file to a project Icon and put it in there, would it automatically recognize on boot up? It looks like that's the way it's done for the other drivers in that drawer now. Still a little confused here… Jim

On my system, everything connected with CrossDOS is in the DosDrivers drawer, but I have other mountlists that are just in DEVS: but not in a directory inside. My inclination would be to put it in Devs: and see if it worked – and move it if not. —Betty
