- What do you mean with "read"? Do you want to mount disks, so that they
- appear on your desktop, or do you just want to transfer some files to/from
- them?
- And do you want to read harddisks or floppys?
- With floppys, try the "file convert"-utility of Sys 7
- ( eh, I'm not shure if it's called 'file convert'.... the german sys 7 calls
- it 'Dateien konvertieren'. It should be mentioned in your manual.).
- This util allows you to read/write DOS-disks, but you cannot mount them.
- hope this helps,
- Juergen
