The neat thing about it is that the mounted device [I call mine B: ] is
available on the same physical device as is your amiga drive. 
So you can put in an msdos disk in the drive and say DIR B: and get a listing
of the files on the msdos disk, take out that disk and put an amiga disk in
the same drive and say "DIR DF1:" and use it as an amiga disk drive.

So it should work on a single disk settup also, just mount it on the internal
drive, as whatever you want to call it.

I don't know if you can un-mount it once it is mounted, I never checked into it

Basically it is just another amiga device like DF0: DF1: PAR: SPEECH: PIPE: and
the others.

I will try to send a copy to Bob to post.
