- Sounds like you just don't have the cross-dos configured to read the
- "external" drive. I assume you're talking about a Syquest or Bernoulli or
- something like that. If the settings in the cross-dos file in DOSdrivers
- does not exactly and perfectly match the actual settings that the drive was
- formatted with on the PC, the Amiga will think it's an ndos disk, and will
- not read it.
-
- Oh, by the way, make sure you're formatting the disk as FAT, not NTFS, and
- keep your filenames 8.3. The Amiga CrossDOS will only work with FAT, and
- won't handle long filenames.
