+I grabbed a copy of Mtools patchlevel 5 off of comp.sources.xxx
+recently, and the only change I had to make was to define the
+appropriate devices for Linux.  Note that the patches I found on tsx-11
+were not quite correct, the B: drive didn't work. The devices I'm using
+now are:
+
+#ifdef __linux__
+struct device devices[] = {
+	{'A', "/dev/dosA"		, 0L, 12, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 80, 2,  9},
+	{'A', "/dev/at0"		, 0L, 12, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 80, 2, 15},
+	{'B', "/dev/dosB"		, 0L, 12, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 80, 2,  9},
+	{'B', "/dev/PS1"		, 0L, 12, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 80, 2, 18},
+	{'C', "/dev/dosC"		, 0L, 16, 0, (int (*) ()) 0,  0, 0,  0},
+	{'\0', (char *) NULL, 0L, 0, 0, (int (*) ()) 0, 0, 0, 0}
+};
+#endif /* __LINUX__ */
+
+But for this to work, the named devices have to be already made in /dev.
+Example, in my case /dev/dosA is a low density drive, (9 sectors, 80
+tracks), so it must be made with the appropriate major and minor device
+numbers for a low density drive.  The devices Linux comes with are
+probably not the same you have, so double check them. (Linux has a 1.44
+in A:, a 1.2 in B:, and C is the 6th HD partition.)
+
+Good luck!
