[comp.sys.amiga] CrossDOS & single-disk systems

chip@cbnewsm.ATT.COM (Chip Christ) (10/06/89)

The very first piece of commercial (paid for ;-) software
for my son's "stock" 2000HD was CrossDOS.  When mounted,
the **single** 3.5 drive is alternatively accessible as
DF0: (Amiga) and DI0: (MS-DOS); DI0: (for IBM?) is the
default naming convention-- you can roll your own, if you
want.  However, for **single** floppy systems, there is
a patch which must be installed to fix a bug which has
been discussed in this newsgroup previously.  It comes
with the package, and instructions for modifying the
STARTUP procedure to install the patch automatically
were clear enough that I could do it even though I had
no previous experience mucking AmigaDOS.

Unfortunately, I can't remember any more detail, and the
system & documentation are 300 miles away, at school.
