- For option #2, would this help (from the latest ICDBOOT read.me)?
-
- - ICDBOOT now recognizes hard disks formatted and partitioned
- with MS-DOS and FDISK on a PC. This should simplify the
- transfer of files between PCs and STs using removable media
- (SyQuest, etc.) much easier. NOTE: (a) although reading and
- writing MS-DOS partitions is supported, most of the ICD
- utilities will not work with MS-DOS partitions. (b) very large
- DOS partitions have too many data clusters, which confuses TOS,
- so some DOS partitions will not be entered into the drive
- tables and will not be useable.
