Here's the scenerio:
I have a 6300 PLUS with one floppy and an internal 20Mb Hard disk.
The internal drive is partiioned as 5% DOS and 95% UNIX. I just
installed AT&T's Expansion Tape Drive/Hard Disk Unit. Everything works
(or seems to). What I'm trying to do is to access the Expansion
Box's Hard disk as an MS-DOS (it's 100% DOS) disk, but Simul-Task
will not allow it. The UNIX partition is C: (and D:), and the DOS
partition of the internal drive is drive E:. The Hotline
says it can't be done. Does anyone on the net know of a way
to access this drive from DOS while running Simul-Task???
Thanks in advance
Frank

I also must say that the MicroPort DOS utils ie doscat, dosdir et all ahve the same problem. They all just refuse to do anything with the DOS partition on the SECOND drive on the CONTROLER. My solution was to give the second drive to a single UNIX partition and use DOSMerge (Simul-Task) to get at it. Since they both can use a UNIX file system it is not a problem. One cravat is DOSMerge (Simul-Task) is slow to get at the UNIX/DOS file system. Since both of these products come from the same port and are very closely related this should be the case. Hope this helps. Fell free to to contact me if I can be of further assistance. Later Alan Bunch bloom-becan!coplex!alan 9519 Stillridge Place Louisville Kentucky, 40229 (502) 964-7848 most anytime.
