Using a RX26 floppy with mtools

Dear Digital Unixians,

I try to use a RX26-VA (plugged in a BA353 extension box) as a MS-DOS
compatible floppy in order to exchange data with PC's (I know that ftp
does exist but it is for convenience ... or intended to be so ;-)

I have installed mtools version 2.0.7 along with the OSF patch
summarized in this list by John Peden (on Nov 11th 94).

I have also done cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV fd0
which creates the fd0a, fd0c, rfd0a and rfd0c devices.

When I launch, say, mdir, I get :

init: open "/dev/rfd0c": No such device

Do you have any clues ? What am I missing ? Does anyone of you has
already sucessfully set up such a configuration ?

I noticed that my mtools version is dated 1992, is it outdated or am I
missing some others Alpha specific cludges ?

Thanks for your help,
