- That's the commodity which controls the various options, such as
- converting Amiga text files (with only LF) to IBM text files (wiht LF+CR)
- and such. If the options are shaded out, that means the PC0 device isn't
- mounted.

- Yup, you haven't mounted the device. Are you mounting it manually, or do
- you want to have it set up every time you boot?
-
- If you don't have the PC0 icon in devs/dosdrivers, which I suspect you
- don't, you have to mount the device manually when you want it. You do
- this by double-clicking on the icon PC0, which should be located in
- storage/dosdrivers. I think you might have been double-clicking on the
- CrossDos icon, in tools/commodities, instead. That doesn't mount the
- device.
-
- If you want PC0 to always be available, move the icon to devs/dosdrivers.
