SUN-OS V4.1.1 supports reading, writing and formatting 760K DOS/ST
diskettes directly.

To format use:

fdformat -l -d

To use put:

/dev/fd0 /pcfs pcfs rw,noauto 0 0

into /etc/fstab (usually there already)

Then mount with:

mount /pcfs

Then regular UNIX commands (ls cp mv etc.) will work with the floppy.

Problem:

You have to su root to do the mount /pcfs.
