- Short: Read & list/mount MS-Dos partition-table.
- Author: sintonen@iki.fi (Harry "Piru" Sintonen)

- Type: disk/misc
- Requires: OS 2.04+
- Version: 1.2

- MountDos12
-
- This is version 1.2 (third, improved release) of MountDos.
- MountDos reads the entire partition table of an MS-Dos HD (or alike:
- ZIP/JAZZ) connected to the Amiga (either IDE or SCSI). It can (optional)
- do three things:
- - List the contents of the partition table
- - Generate mountlists for the entries in the partition table
- - Automatic mount all partitions in the table which are supported by
- CrossDOS or fat95.
- The device and unit can be specified. Extended partitions are supported.
- Source is included (in 'AmigaE'). Kickstart 37+.

-
- New in v1.2
- -----------
-
- o bugfixes
- - The Workbench startup was broken in v1.1, fixed.
-
- o improvements
- - Added dozens of new partition identifiers.
- - Added FAT32 support with fat95 (disk/misc/fat95.lha).
- - Added 'StackSize = 2048' for mountlists.
- - Added "MaxTransfer" and "Buffers" keywords to generated mountlists,
- default maxtransfer is 0xfffe00 and buffers is 20.
- - Changed mountlist "BufMemType" from MEMF_ANY to MEMF_PUBLIC.
- - The new options (and tooltypes):
-
- MAXTRANSFER MaxTrasfer for the mountlists, in hex or decimal
- BUFFERS/N Buffers to use per mounted partition
- FAT95/S Mount the partition using fat95 instead of CrossDOS
- INCLHIDDEN/S Include hidden partitions to operation
-
-
- Some old IDE devices misbehave with big MaxTransfer value. If this
- seems to be the problem, use MAXTRANSFER 0x1fe00 or 0xfe00 to fix
- it.
-
- The total memory taken by the 'buffers' depend on the filesystem
- implementation, currently 1 buffer = 512 bytes. Note that the
- filesystem might round up the given value.
-
- Now you can mount FAT32 drives with the excellect (and free!) fat95
- filesystem. No longer 4gig disk limit! Download disk/misc/fat95.lha
- and copy the filesystem to l:. Now you can specify FAT95 switch to
- use l:fat95 instead of l:CrossDOSFileSystem. Also, as a bonus, fat95
- give long filename support (upto 65 chars).
-
- In some cases DOS hard disk might have hidden partitions. INCLHIDDEN
- option can be used with LIST, GENERATE and MOUNT to include these
- hidden partitions.
