- Here is one that was given to me that has worked fine for me. But be aware
- that people have said that the CrossDOS that comes with AmigaDOS DOESN'T
- support anything except floppy drives. So you will need the commercial
- version like 6.0(that's what I'm using).
-
- Device = scsi.device (or whatever make you have)
- Unit = 5 (if your HD is unit 6 like most people)
- Flags = 0x00000000
- Surfaces = 1
- BlocksPerTrack = 68
- Blocksize = 512
- LowCyl = 0
- HighCyl = 2890
- Reserved = 0
- FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
- Stacksize = 2000
- Priority = 5
- BootPri = -20
- GlobVec = -1
- DosType = 0x4D534800
- Buffers = 5
- BufMemType = 1
- Mask = 0xFFFFFFFE
- MaxTransfer = 0xFFFFFFFF
- Mount = 1

- You HAVE to name this mountlist with something ending in "C". I use ZPC: for
- the
- CrossDOS mountlist and ZIP: for the AmigaDOS mountlist. It will then be
- mounted
- at bootup with the rest of the CrossDOS drivers. To access the drive you just
- open a Shell and type "diskchange ZPC:" Since you only asked for the PC
- mountlist
- I'll assume you know how to format, etc.
