I tried the MSDOS code from about 2.5 months ago and had mixed success. I was talking to a SCSI zip disk through a ncr810 based controller card and things were fine as long as I stayed in the root directory. I could add, delete and copy to my hearts content. But as soon as I tried to manipulate files in a subdirectory, it slowly began to self destruct and then roasted the filesystem. This was on a standard fat16 fs on the zip disk. I don't know if this was a zip specific artifact or not. When I put a unix fs on it, it worked flawlessly. - K.C.
