We have an os9 system based on a microware 68030 processor and we would like to be able to write files onto a msdos disk. Does anybody out there know of any such utilities or have any information on the relavent drivers? Thanks in advance CON NERI All Graphic R+D e-mail: cn@allgfx.agi.oz.au 49-53 Barry ST tele: +61-3-3471722 Carlton fax : +61-3-3472175 Vic 3053 AUSTRALIA

The main change needed to use it is to have the floppy driver use the bytes/sector info in the descriptors, I believe. Also, I recall someone on CIS saying that he'd typed in the shortened C MSDOS file manager from Dibble's "OS-9 Insights" book (available from MW), and that it worked right off (no idea what he did to his driver, tho). Sorry, not much help. - kevin <kdarling@catt.ncsu.edu>

The good news is such utilities do exist, the bad news is that they
were written for 6809/os9. They were written by Bob Santy, and are
available on both CIS and Delphi.
I believe OSK (os9/680x0) has an MSDOS file manager available for just
such a task. A call to Microware may be in order.
