Mtools runs fine on OSF/1. It helps to look at the DEC FAQs, mtools is also
available on the Freeware CD.

D2. How can I read/write MS-DOS floppy disks?
If you have a floppy disk drive on your ULTRIX or OSF/1 system, get
"mtools", a set of MS-DOS utilities for UNIX. The package can be
copied from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/mtools-2.0.7. It works on
both DECstations and Alphas.
When you build mtools, you need to find out which device your floppy
is (/dev/rrz2c is common). Then you can clone the SPARC definitions,
or #define SPARC and make /dev/rfd0c a symlink to the one you need.

Also we discovered that it was successfully built and installed. It turns out
the first disk we tried wasn't a DOS disk, contrary to what the person who
supplied claimed. Thanks to:
