Has anyone ever developed DOS programs which could read/write Minix formatted
disks? Sort of like the opposite of dos-read, dos-write? Any helpful
information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much,

It reads a MINIX file system, and creates an image of it on some disk. If you compile readfs using any MS-DOS compiler, you can then run it on MS-DOS. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Steve Harrold posted a min2dos package that was fairly useful. It contained the .exes and the sources code in an arc file.
