- I've got it running with ADOS 3.0 without problems. What you have done seems
- to be right, so the only suggestion I have it to set the partition back to FFS
- (or OFS or anything...) and just format the drive about half way, and then set
- everything back the way it was. I can't garantee this will work, but maybe it
- doesn't see it because of some data that's already on it...
-
- P.S. If you want to be able to share your PC partition with the Amiga as a
- normal partion, there is a file in misc/emu that will tell you how to use
- CrossDos with the partition. Don't fill up the PC partition just yet though,
- as there are different setting to change from the DosServ settings.
