The standard DOS drivers for CrossDOS are PC0: and PC1; which correspond to DF0: and DF1:. These two drivers allow an Amiga floppy drive to read and write 720KB or 1.44MB MS-DOS disks, depending on the capacity of your Amiga disk drive.
You can activate a CrossDOS driver whenever you boot by moving the PF0/PC1 icon to DEVS:DOSDrivers. To temporarily activate a DOS driver, double-click on the icon in the Storage/DOSDrivers drawer. The DOS driver is activated until you reboot.
When you activate a CrossDOS driver, the Workbench displays two icons for any disk inserted in t he drive: one for PC0: or PC1: and one for the corresponding DF0: or DF1: drive. For an MS-DOS disk in DF0:; Workbench displays a special floppy disk icon with the disk's name and an icon labeled DF0:????. For an Amiga disk, Workbench shows the usual floppy icon and another labeled PC0:????.
When you insert a disk into a CrossDOS drive, there is normally a brief delay between the appearance of the DFx: disk icon and the PCx: disk icon. |
When you open an MS-DOS disk, CrossDOS automatically displays its contents in Show All mode.
You can create additional DOS drivers if you have other drives with which you wish to use CrossDOS.
