I thought this would be worth uploading.
These are the first few lines from the readme file in the archive.

What is it?
===========
A Cross-Dos/MSH like program. It will allow you to
read MS-DOS disks with a standard 3 1/2 drive.
Installation:
=============
Copy l/MultiDosFileSystem to l:
Copy devs/multidos.device to devs:
Execute PcMountAll from Workbench or CLI(put it in
your s:user-startup).
What do I do now?
=================
MS-DOS disks will now be available through dfx: as
all other Amiga disks.
What is MultiDos? If you have heard of CrossDos or
MSH, it is just about the same thing. Only better,
since you can read both MS-DOS and AMIGA-DOS disks from
the same Device name (DF0:, DF1:, DF2: and DF3:).
There is also a non standard format supported. (MS-DOS
on trackdisk blocks, gives you 880K disks.) Just note
that 880K format is not readable on a MS-DOS computer.
It is possible to make a mountlist entry to support
this.
If MultiDos are mounted as MDx:, it will steal DFx:.
This is done to cut down the diskchange overhead. This
will also make it possible to read MS-DOS diskettes from
DFx:. If you mount MultiDos whith another name, it will
not steal DFx:.
