I posted about a week ago but no one has replied yet.  I can not seem
to get my station to recognize ibm floppies.  After I use BuildDos to
make the disk the workspace pauses for about 5 minutes and then says
the floppy is unreadable.  This is what I found in the console:
Bad disk label magic number
Bad disk label magic number
Bad disk label magic number
Bad disk label magic number
fd: UNABLE TO READ DISK LABEL

server dosfs giving up waiting for executable /mach
Apr 15 14:55:05 Workspace[1676]:
 DOS mount attempted and failed on device fd0 (status = -7)

So what is going on?  

Thanks in advance,
