- Do you mean BOTH an Amiga AND a MS-DOS partition on the same disk, or
- just an MS-DOS formatted Zip disk? I have heard that you should not
- partition a Zip disk on the Amiga, but I since I haven't tried it I
- can't say if it works or not. If you wanted the latter, here's the
- mountlist someone sent me, it works perfectly. Just stick it in the
- same directory as the PC0: drivers and name it anything that ends in
- "c". I use ZPC: for MS-DOS disks and ZIP: for Amiga disks.
