I am trying to get mtools to function reading my DOS partition on my
scsi drive (Adaptec 1542b controller). The DOS partition is 450megs.
Should this work? I tried modifying the devices.c file as the FAQ
suggested (using as0d instead of wd0d for the device) but am gettting
a message about it not being a DOS partition. Is there a limitation
on the partition size ( < 32megs)? Is it possible that my partition
does not really start at block 0 (as the FAQ states)? Any help would be
appreciated.
