Hmmm... we should really put this in a FAQ list somewhere... > If you have the mtools suite on the Sparc, it's simply a matter of putting the > DS ST disk in the slot. Also, if you (the original poster) have problems with it try recompiling mtools with DUP_FAT #define'd. This causes both FAT copies on an ST Disk to be updated. Since you're reading I don't think it should make any difference... but if you want to write to it, mtools won't write an ST compatible disk with DUP_FAT. -- /**************************************************************************/ /* Kent Dalton * EMail: Kent.Dalton@FtCollins.NCR.COM */ /* NCR Microelectronics * CIS: 72320,3306 */ /* 2001 Danfield Ct.
