- Tracy,
- The way Iset it up was to use HDtools and write an RDB to one of the
- disks. I then read the RDB with RDPrep and wrote the Mount list to the devs:
- directory. I then made a dosdriver file and put it in the dosdriver drawer to
- mount at startup. Everything seems to work fine so far. The system dos not
- immediately recognze the zip so you have to use the cli command to format the
- drive. after that it shows up on workbench. What I want to do though is to be
- able to use the native PC-format so I can transfer files between macs, pcs, and
- my amiga.
