Is there software available to enable DOS files to be read from and written to the 3.5 inch floppy drive in the SUN 3/80? I am aware that it can be done using the DOS emulator product but I would like to read DOS stuff while using Unix. It seems a simple requirement but nobody I have asked knows of anything.

I haven't tried the programs but it looked like all that was needed was for some of the params to be changed for the HD diskette format. Maybe one of the people I forwarded the result of my search to has already tried mtools and can report?

I have a program that handles DOS files (and subdirectories) that runs on an Apollo or a SPARCstation-1. It probably wouldn't be too hard for me to get it to run on a 3/80, if I had one to play with for a few hours. The program is available for a nominal license charge.
