OK, I know this was hashed over in reference to lost of of
different types of hard disks, but now I want an answer
for my floppy disk. I have 3meg B2000, 2 3.5" floppies, and
a 5.25" floppy (C= 1020). Now I have been able to successfully
mount the 1020 floppy as a regular OFS device - DF2:, using
the supplied mountlist entry in the AmigaDOS 1.3 package.
However, when I attempt to mount it as an FFS device, and then
try to format a floppy, it ALWAYS gurus the machine (sometimes
with a Software held requestor, sometimes not...). At
any rate, if anyone could please point out the errors in my
ways... (I do NOT run FastMemFirst, though the first thing I
do is mount a 880K RAD disk - FYI).
Here's the mountlist entry, verbatium, that does NOT work:
/* Mount a 5.25" disk drive to be mounted as DF2: */
DF2: Device = trackdisk.device
FileSystem = l:FastFileSystem
Unit = 2
Flags = 1
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 11
Reserved = 2
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 0 ; HighCyl = 39
Buffers = 20
BufMemType = 3
DosType = 0x444F5301
Mask = 0x007FFFFF
#
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. -Kurt
