- I am correct in assuming that there is no way of mounting an MS-DOS floppy
- in a NeXT. ex. "mount -t pcfs /dev/fd0a /DOS" like on a Sun. NeXT's docs
- seem to indicate that by putting a MS-DOS formatted disk into the drive a
- folder named DOS will appear in the root folder. But I don't see a
- directory named /DOS.
-
- Anyone know how I can read a MS-DOS disk on a NeXT if I'm not at the
- console or if I'm not running the NeXT window manager.
