Hi, I'm trying to get FFS running on the 1020 5.25" drive. My understanding is that this should be possible, since the drive must be MOUNTed. It all seems to work EXCEPT that all the object files I place on the drive, give "not an object module" messages when I try to run them. If I copy them back to a known non-FFS device, they still are not object modules. I'm using the normal DF2: (renamed DF3:) 5.25" mountlist entry, with the addition of the three FFS entries. (DosType, FileSystem, and a third that escapes me (GlobVec?)). SYSTEM: B2000 (stock) one external 3.5 A1010 drive and A1020. No Harddrive. Any hints would be appreciated.
