reading linux/unix disks on AmigaOS

Hi,

I was wondering what the c:mount settings are to be able to read linux/unix 720kb disks on AmigaOS.

Thanks

They should be in standard PC format (720KB) so you should be able to read them with CrossDOS (MOUNT PC0: )

If they are formatted in win / dos format ( fat 12 iirc ) it's ok.

If the filesystem used is ext2 i think you will be in trouble ( but who is so mad to format a floppy ext2 ( it has quite a big overhead ) ? )
