Subject: How to DisMount external drives from A2000 ?
An external drive (5.25") is automatically acknowledged by Amiga while
booting.It is named "df2:". The machine knows it as 80 track Amiga drive.
I look for a way to logically dismount this drive after booting like by
a "DisMount"-command (The only way I know is to connect the drive first
after booting). Do someone know whether a little program is available
doing this job ? Is there someone who can tell me how to take away "df2"
from device list without getting help from guru ... ?
Thank you for all help.
Peter Jonas

You must first `mount' it before it is acknowledged by Amy. >booting.It is named "df2:". The machine knows it as 80 track Amiga drive. ^^ ^^^^^ Again - not our 5.25" drive. Ours is only 40 track(s). >I look for a way to logically dismount this drive after booting like by >a "DisMount"-command (The only way I know is to connect the drive first >after booting).

Sorry to say that there is no way (that I know of) to DISmount a device once it is mounted. > >Thank you for all help. >Peter Jonas > -- Dan Schein uucp: {ihnp4|allegra|burdvax|rutgers}!cbmvax!schein Commodore AMIGA Bix: dschein Plink: Dan*CATS 1200 Wilson Drive phone: (215) 431-9100 ext. 9542 West Chester PA 19380 +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All spelling mistakes are a result of my efforts to avoid education :-) +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ I help Commodore by supporting the AMIGA.
