Is there a DOS/Windows/Linux utility that allows writing to QNX formatted
floppy disks?
E.g put the QNX floppy in and copy DOS files to it via DOS.
Not that I know of. But, you can start Dosfsys on QNX 4.X and read/write
from/to DOS disks. The floppy drives will appear as /dos/a, /dos/b etc.
It’s also possible to do the same sort of thing on QNX 2.X, but I don’t
remember the exact commands to use. There’s also the textto utility for
converting from/to UNIX/DOS style text files.

If you want to copy files to/from QNX & DOS, you could just mount it
under QNX as a DOS diskette.
First create a directory under QNX, such as /floppy. Then, use the
following: “mount -t dos /dev/fd0 /floppy”. You can now copy to /
read from /floppy, which is the diskette.
HTH.

I should have said version QNX 2.
None of the mount commands work for version 2.
Apparently you use dfs, but our QNX 2 system does not seem to have this
utility. Anyone know what to do?
