- Yes it is a great device. I have been using it for a long time with no
- problems. Get MFS (Multi File System) it will allow you to access either size
- disk (Amiga or DiskSpare) using DF0:. Also works with CrossDOS disks. It
- should be on Aminet. BTW, there is a newer version of diskspare.device on
- Aminet.
