- The main things to remember when trying to read a real IBM harddrive
- with CrossDOS mountlist entry are:-
-
- 1. Get the mount parameters from HDToolBox/ChangeDriveType/DefineNew/
- ReadConfiguration, if the number of heads * blockspertrack does not equal
- blockspercylinder then set heads(surfaces) to one and use blockspercylinder
- as BlocksPerTrack in the mount entry.
-
- 2. Use DosType=0x4d534800.
-
- 3. End the mount name in C eg "PCC:" for the first partition D for the
- next etc.
