Does anyone know whether MagicWorkbench screws up detection of PC0:? If so, what do you do about it? Thanks in advance. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George

Exactly what sort of detection do you mean? I just started Crossdos, and inserted a PC disk, and the icon cam up for both pc0 and df0. zzzzz….. The Sandman…..

Thanks for the response Michael, I installed MagicWB and when I insert an MS-DOS disk I don't get a PC0 icon. This happens only if the disk is NOT formatted. However the PC0: icon is in DEVS:DOSDrivers and has Active set to 1. CrossDOS does come up when I request it. I just don't get an icon for an unformatted disk. Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George

Clark, go to your workbench devs/dosdrivers drawer, select information from the workbench menu. Once there, delete the line with the authors name. It seems to screw up the mounting. Also check to make sure you have the ACTIVATE=1 and UNIT=0 tools there. You might consider doing the same for any other devices in the drawer. Brian bjbart@watnxt01.ucr.edu

Brian Thank you for responding. I've done that already and it hasn't seemed to work. But I'll listen to any other suggestions! Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George

Clark, you might try blowing the NickPrefs Floppy prefs off the harddrive and from ram: You'll find the one copy of floppy prefs in env:sys and the other in envarc:sys. Kill both and reboot. Brian bjbart@watserv.ucr.edu
