- Isn't that the nasty unauthorized hacked version of DMS which got deleted
- from Aminet? I thought the last bona fide DMS was 1.11, which AFAIK is
- still on Aminet, and (certainly on my system) quite happily groks floppies
- other than df0: Whether it handles HD disks or not I don't know, although
- it does have a HIGHTRACK switch which might allow for this. I suggest you
- download DMS 1.11 and try it out - if it doesn't do the business for you,
- then perhaps try xpk instead?
