Problem mounting SuperFloppy under AmigaOS3.2

[indigolemon]

I'm probably missing something, but I have a Zip Drive (remember those? ) and am trying to create a mountlist for it under 3.2

I followed the example in the FAQ, adding in the correct Device and Unit, but keep getting an error requester telling me:

Mount Failure
Could not find some of the following keywords: Surfaces, BlocksPerTrack, LowCyl, HighCyl, Device

The Zip is on scsi.device unit 3, and the mountlist I'm using is:

LowCyl        = 0
Device        = scsi.device
Unit          = 3
Flags         = 0
SuperFloppy   = 1
DOSType       = 0x444f5303
FileSystem    = L:FastFileSystem
Mount         = 1
Activate      = 1

Am I missing something super obvious? I've tried to search but can't find anyone else having a similar issue.

Yes: Surfaces, BlocksPerTrack and HighCyl

I guess you can set them all to 1. But the Mount command requires them, as it told you.

And Mount and Activate are synonyms. You need only one of them.

Thanks for the reply Thomas, I'll need to give that a shot! From the FAQ I had (perhaps incorrectly) inferred I didn't need to specify all those.

2.12 * How do I mount a SuperFloppy?

You need to use a mount file. In particular, the following entries
need to be set:

LowCyl         = 0          ; there is no RDB
Device         = <name of the exec device, e.g. scsi.device>
Unit           = <unit number, e.g. the SCSI ID>
Flags          = 0          ; typically, depends on the device
SuperFloppy    = 1          ; This turns on SuperFloppy support
DOSType        = 0x444f5303 ; for FFS INTL 
FileSystem     = L:FastFileSystem
Activate       = 1

The file system will figure out all remaining parameters from the
device.

Here's a couple of old mount lists:

* ZIP file system entry

* This file enables FastFileSystem on a 100M ZIP cartridge.
*/

FileSystem = L:FastFileSystem
Flags = 0
Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 68
SectorsPerBlock = 1
SectorSize = 512
Mask = 0x7fffffff
MaxTransfer = 0x1fe00
Reserved = 2
Interleave = 0
LowCyl = 2
HighCyl = 2890
Buffers = 30
BufMemType = 0
StackSize = 600
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x444F5301

/* The Device and Unit fields are controlled by tooltypes in the ZIP0 icon. */
