- Introduction
- ------------
- MSD95 is a filesystem handler for Amiga. It is an application which is able
- to read PC style partitions table from a Hard Disk and to mount one of them
- as a real disk on the Amiga. Support for PC floppies disks has also been
- added starting from version 1.4.
-
- This is the same kind of thing that CrossDOS performs.
