Hi Does anyone know how to get the SS1 to read/write/format IBM PC format disks (1.44MB)? I got mtools v1.2 off the net, but it does not support 1.44mb drives. Is there a newer version ( I heard rumors of a v2.0) about? If so, where can I anon. ftp it from ? Another compilcation is that the version of mtools I found requires drivers that I don't have. Can I just rename what it is looking for to the drivers I do have (rfd0x, fd0x)? Lots of questions . . . One complication, I'm only running SUN OS 4.0.3c. I understand that 4.1.1 has some new stuff to deal with this, but I'm unable to upgrade right now. One problem that I forsee is that my version of fdformat does not support the -d option, which I understand puts a PC DOS directory stucture on the disk. Any Suggestions ?
