- I'm not sure if you can do that. However, if you have simply
- "Assign DF1: DISMOUNT"ed, the procedure below seems to work okay.
-
- Use the following mountlist, saving it as DEVS:Mountlist.DF1 or somesuch:
-
- --- CUT ---
-
- DF1:
- Device = trackdisk.device
- Unit = 1
- Priority = 10
- Flags = 0x0
- Surfaces = 2
- BlockSize = 512
- BlocksPerTrack = 11
- Reserved = 2
- Interleave = 0
- LowCyl = 0
- HighCyl = 79
- StackSize = 5000
- Buffers = 5
- BufMemType = 1
- Mount = 1
- GlobVec = -1
- MaxTransfer = 2097152
- Mask = 0x7ffffffe
-
- #
-
- --- CUT ---
-
- Mount it with "Mount DF1: FROM DEVS:Mountlist.DF1"
-
- You can easily create similar mountlists for the other floppy drives - change
- the volume name to "DFx:" and the "Unit = 1" line to "Unit = x" where 0<=x<=3.
-
- BTW, I'm not sure if all the settings in that mountlist are absolutely
- correct - I converted it from a PFS mountlist. It seems to work on my machine,
- though, for example:
-
- 10.Kinski:> Assign DF1: DISMOUNT
- 10.Kinski:> Dir DF1:
- ["Please insert volume DF1: in any drive" requester appears - select "Cancel"]
- Could not get information for DF1:
- device (or volume) is not mounted
- 10.Kinski:> Mount DF1: FROM DEVS:Mountlist.DF1
- 10.Kinski:> Dir DF1:
- s (dir)
- Amiga_E_v3.1i.DMS Amiga_E_v3.1i_extras.DMS
- CUMenu.info Disk.info
- EModules.DMS System-Configuration
- TimeForBed
- 10.Kinski:>
-
- etc...
-
- -- Mat.
