As soon as > I get one I will try... You might have problems low level formatting it with PREP, but there is a solution for that in a PD low level formatter. The main problem with it will be in the trouble you have to go through to use it. Every single diskette will have to be Prepped and then Amigados formatted, and will have to have the same partition layout. You will have to issue a manual DiskChange command each time a diskette is changed. As for the mountlist, just specify the number of cylinders, surfaces, and blocks per track. -larry -- Entomology bugs me. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
