If there is an entry in devs/mountlist that has the name DF1: but unit=2 and you say "MOUNT DF1:", then all references to DF1: will go to the external floppy. (This is easier than changing the jumper on the motherboard that says DF1 is external.) The mountlist for AmigaDOS 1.3 is already set up - just add the MOUNT command to your startup-sequence. For AmigaDOS 1.2, just take the existing mountlist, remove the "/*" before DF1 and "*/" after the "#", change UNIT= to 2, and change HIGHCYL= to 9. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | TYMNET:JMS@F29 CA:"POPJ P," UUCP:{ames|pyramid}oliveb!tymix!antares!jms | | INTERNET: (Office-1.ARPA is no more) PHONE:Joe Smith @ (408)922-6220 | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
