I have a file called "ffsflop.arc" that has notes for a MOUNTLIST entry, plus
a utility called "autodiskchange" (or something like that).  What it does is
detect your disk change, and mounts whichever DOS format you happen to put
in the drive!  It seems slick to me, since you can use FFS format disks just
like the normal ones, with no extra work (once it's set up). (Is this something
that would be good or bad to include with the official AmigaDOS?)

I couldn't get FFS floppies to work without this file.  It's pretty small....
