- Is there some difference between the DOS header provided by the mformat
- command and that provided by a "real" MS_DOS FORMAT?
- I'm under the impression that such a difference exists, because I've found
- that a Mac IIsi running AccessPC (which allows it to use MS-DOS disks
- transparently) does not recognize disks that got a DOS label from mtools,
- while the same disketee, when formatted by MS-DOS, rather than using
- fdformat + mformat, works just fine.
- Is this a known problem?
