- PCDisk was removed from Amiga Janus starting with Janus 2.0 and
- including Janus 2.1, and was replaced by DosServ which runs
- automatically when required. The MakeAB command can be used to create a
- virtual PC Hard drive on am Amiga Hard Disk.
-
- The ADisk command was used to create *Amiga* hard disk partitions on a
- PC hard drive back in the days of the XT Bridgeboard when MFM hard disks
- cost quite a bit less than SCSI drives at the time. Problem was you had
- to boot from a floppy to bring the Amiga up, then the Bridgeboard, and
- finally the Amiga partition on the PC Harddrive. Not very fast, but it
- worked.
