A While ago, I posted a note about hooking up a 5 1/4" drive to my Amy, and
in the process, i ended up wiring up my own controller/interface.  But I
still have a problem.  I have a mountlist entry for the drive, and I can
the drive, format it, and put data on it in AMIGADOS format, with no problems.
But when I try to use utilities like Dos-2-Dos, it tells me that the MS-DOS
drive is not ready.  Would somebody mind explaining this to me.  Does
AmigaDos ignore something that MS-DOS utilities dont?

     Spring Break means that it's time to get back to my Amiga!
