I remember that i used to have a Mount PC0: command in my startup-sequence.
this then let my amiga read pc 720k formatted disks inside my amiga floppy drive
either via dopus or a cli prompt. Here is the list from the devs/mountlist file...

#

PC0: Device = mfm.device
Unit = 0
Flags = 1
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 9
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 79

FileSystem = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
Stacksize = 2000
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x4D534400
Buffers = 5
BufMemType = 0
Activate = 1
#

simply copy the above text and add it to your devs/mountlist file using a text editor.

you will need the following files on your amiga system.

crossdossFileSystem in your L drawer
mfm.device in your devs folder

now when you use the command 'Mount PC0:' the amiga will be able to read PC Floppys (720k) by simply typing PC0:
at a cli prompt or even better, with directory opus.

PC0: = read pc floppy's with amiga hd
DF0: = read standard amiga floppys.

the software still retains df0: so you can convert on the fly.

most of you guys allready know this but, it doesn't hurt to show a couple of people who are unsure.
