  I assume you are using 720K discs in DF0: If so, make sure the entry in
the mountlist called 'unit' is set to 0. ie.
   Unit = 0
Otherwise, it won't work. This is what I do on a 2Mb single floppy A500.
(And it has worked on a 512K and a 1Mb and a 1.5Mb, cause I've had all
those configurations as well :-)
