I use Dos Mounter on a Mac Classic with 6.0.7. It seems to work fine with
the following exceptions:

1. SAM does not scan DOS disks.  I'm not sure this is really a problem, 
   but it worries me.

2. My UNIX system running ESIX 5.3.2d, which uses the Xenix "mcopy" command
   now part of all 386 UNIXs, has trouble reading the FAT after Dos Mounter
   writes a disk. 
   
   This is an intermitent problem. 
 
   I have never had problems with disks written by the Apple File Exchange.
