MessyDOS is one of the BEST packages I have for the amiga, and >it was FREE. Don't waste your money and buy that stupid CrossDos package (I, >for one, did..and after using MessyDOS for the last year, I feel I was >ripped off!) To answer the original question: Actually, MSH is known to not work with A3000's running 2.0, and the author has not been able to figure out why. On the other hand, CrossDOS worked on my 3000 just fine, and under 2.0, I never bothered with any of the CrossDOS supplied mount commands and other utilities because it is compatible with the standard Commodore utilities. -- bruce@zuhause.mn.org
