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!
