How do you get QNX 2 to read DOS floppy disks?

How do you get QNX 2 to read DOS floppy disks?

Urgent info needed.

IIRC this was done with the dfs command:

dfs start a=1

but check the usage of dfs for sure (run “dfs ?”)

good luck,

I don’t seem to have dfs on the QNX 2.2 system.

Do you have to specially install it.

Now that you mention it, yes I do remember having to install that
separately. I can’t remember if this install floppy is part of the
standard QNX2 package. QSSL will have to jump in here…

Do you know where I could get that utility.

What is QSSL?

QSSL = QNX Software Systems Limited (The vendors)

They can tell you more on how to get this util. Just post in these
groups and sooner or later one of the employees are bound to read your
message. (Or contact your QNX sales rep)

On Qnx2 dfs(Dosfsys) was originally a purchased item. Don’t know what the
‘rules’ are now for this, so you should check with Qnx Sales Reps on that
one.

it is best to contact your local sales office. dfs 2.01 is provided under
special arrangement. you can mention to them that you have talked with
qssl (head office) and that you talked with me. we can provide this
utility to you. but i want to make sure that the local office can help you
out with it…
