CrossDOS
Version 3.05
We at CONSULTRON would like to thank you for purchasing CrossDOS.
We believe you will find it useful and easy to use.
*******************************************
Installing this Product
I have included a simple program called "Install_MSDOSFS". It can be
run from the CLI or from Workbench. It will prompt you through the
installation procedure. The program is broken up into separate
transfer procedures that allow you to install portions that apply to
your system configuration. If you wish, you can install the product
manually by placing the necessary files in the correct directories
(please refer to the manual supplied with CrossDOS).
*******************************************
TDPatch12 and TDPatch13
The trackdisk.device code resident in Kickstart code versions 1.2 and
1.3 have a couple bugs in it that need fixing. The bugs appear only
if you have one 3 1/2" floppy drive connected on your system.
TDPatch12 and TDPatch13 correct this problem for KickStart V1.2 and
V1.3 respectively. The installation program will detect this
condition if it exists on your system and transfer the proper patch
version to your C: directory. It will also try to append your
s:startup-sequence with the patch. (You may need to edit your
s:startup-sequence to make sure it gets placed in correctly.)
If the patch is required, it must be executed before accessing any
MS-DOS disk.
Earlier versions of TDPatch13 had a bug in IT that would not allow
the patch to be applied. It has been fixed in this version.
TDPatch will not work in conjunction with NOCLICKSTART.
*******************************************
MS-DOS Hard Disk Partitions
The MS-DOS file system is designed to read and write physical MS-DOS
hard drive partitions, although it has not been tested thoroughly.
The installation program does not cover hard drive installation so
that creating a mountlist entry for it must be done manually. You
must configure the mountlist entries so that the lowest block number
points to the boot block of the partition you wish to access. The
"device = " entry must also be the device driver for your hard drive
controller board.
I must also caution you about the fact that accessing the partition
at the device driver level has no means of detecting ownership of the
blocks. In other words, both your Amiga and the MS-DOS host computer
believe it has FULL control over the data written to the partition.
To help prevent this conflict, if one host writes to the partition
the other host must "change the disk". To change the disk on the
Amiga host, execute the "diskchange" command for that drive. To
change the disk on the MS-DOS host, change the default drive FROM the
partition then back TO the partition (ie. from C: to A: then back
to C:).
