- I am not sure why mtvol is being used while attempting to execute any of the
- MTOOL tools. Programs like mdir or mread should access the floppy drive
- directly through /dev/fda? as is coded in devices.c before the program is
- compiled.
-
- Going back to my original posting, I get an initialize failure when attemping
- to mdir a dos floppy. I was wondering, because we use an ESDI controller, if
- the out-of-the-box source must be modified. And if it must be modified, what
- should I be looking to add?

- Thanks again
