Well does mounting DOS media work for anybody?
Can anybody who must know tell us whether it is supposed to work or not?
I mean DOS floppies work but I doubt one can conclude from that for disk-type
things like MOs, phasechange-media or ZIP disks, especially as floppies don't
have a partition table AFAIK.
I tried to mount a phasechange-medium formatted with Adaptec's afdisk (maybe
this makes a difference) some time ago as either /dev/sd1a or /dev/sd1c and got
similar errors.
So long, Markus
