The basic answer to the question is that the floppy is just another
rz device, in my case rz5c. With regard to DOS floppys, DU does not
support DOS as a file system option to mount. BUT there is a set of FS
commands, called mtools, on the FreeWare CD that will work on a DOS
filesystem. I have yet to successfully get them to work, since they
need some localization and to be compiled. I will send up another
summary for compiling mtools as a few of you have requested when they
are compiled correctly. Any help with getting them compiled would
be welcome.
Thanks,
Karl
