Many of the example mount files for 3½" MO disks given here are based on ones contributed by Goetz-Martin Bertelsmann. Drag the icons for the mount files you want to install to DEVS:DOSDrivers or SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers, and set the DEVICE and UNIT tooltypes, and the Mask and MaxTransfer values appropriately for your system.
Amiga FFS
After mounting an Amiga FFS volume, you can use the Format command to set the
DosType just as you would a floppy disk or hard disk partition. For example:
FFS 640MB FFS 540MB FFS 230MB FFS 128MB FFS 600MB (5¼")
Amiga SFS
PC-compatible MS-DOS FAT (requires CrossDOS)
These AT-HD type mount files can be used with disks which have been formatted
on a PC, with a single partition. CrossDOS is not able to format disks of this
type, but you can read and write them. It is probably better to use the MOC
DOSDriver above, since that does not depend on a certain partition layout.
These mount files can be used to access disks in "superfloppy" format. The
difference between PC AT-HD and superfloppy disk is similar to that between RDB
and mount file disks on the Amiga. Thanks to Michael Böhmer and Gerhard
Kozuschek for contributing the superfloppy mount files.
Apple Macintosh HFS (requires CrossMac, may work with MaxDOS with changes)
The following mount file is for 640MB disks formatted as a single partition
using the free Pinnacle Micro Mac MO driver software. It gives read-only access
on the Amiga side, and uses AmiCDFS. Rather than using this
mount file directly, you should edit it to contain the correct LowCyl and
HighCyl values for your disk, which will vary depending on which Mac MO
software and which type of disk you use.
NetBSD (requires BFFS)
SFS is a new filesystem for the Amiga, developed by John
Hendrikx. It is currently in beta testing, so I don't recommend that you use it
for storage of important data yet. The current beta version of SFS is supposed
to automatically support detection of different disk capacities, but this does
not seem to work properly. There is an SFS support web page at
http://www.xs4all.nl/~hjohn/SFS/.
It should be possible to use the following mount file with any AT-HD formatted
disk, no matter what the partition layout. Mounting MOC: will access the first
partition on the disk. To access other partitions, you need to copy and rename
MOC to MOD, MOE, etc. CrossDOS determines which partition to mount by looking
at the last letter of the device name; C for the first partition, D for the
second and so on. This mount file is based on the one on Aminet as
disk/misc/mount_msdos.lha, which was created by Dirk Eismann and Volker Remuß.
