Mount files are text files that contain lists of parameters and values needed to mount devices or make them available to the system. The PC0/PC1 DOS drivers are mount files for specific CrossDOS drives. By creating a mount file or altering that of an existing CrossDOS drive, you can make a new DOS driver that allows use of other devices with CrossDOS.
View an existing mount file such as PC0 by using MultiView, which is described in Chapter 4. The file contains various pieces of technical information that describe the drive and certain settings that the drive and should be obtained from the manufacturer's documentation.
Use a text editor, such as ED, to create or edit CrossDOS mount files. You may want to edit an existing CrossDOS mount file, since much of the information stays the same for other types of drives. The following example illustrates a mount file that could be used for a drive, such as a removable media Syquest cartridge:
FileSystem = L.CrossDOSFileSystem
Device = scsi.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 1
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 34
LowCycl = 0
HighCyl = 2096
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 1
StackSize = 600
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534800
