hi, This is regarding mtools utilities which is given with FREEWARE CD, CD which is bundled with Digital unix 3.2 installed on DEC 3000/600. What i have done is, i have copied from FREEWARE CD to /mtools.Some of the utilities are mcopy,mdir,mformat etc... And i have linked /dev/fd0a to /dev/fddrive, as mtools looks for /dev/fddrive. And i have gien the command #mcopy messages a: But after this no light glows on foppy drive.And system does'nt give any error messages and comes to hash prompt. Please can anybody give me the syntax of mtools OR if my way of installation is wrong please guide me to do it correctly. Thanks in advance, with regards PADMANABHA

Hi, I'm not sure if the man pages changed between 3.2 and 4.0, try looking at the mtools man page again. My first thought is that your link is wrong, as it should point at the raw "c" device: # ln -s /dev/rfd0c /dev/fddrive Try mdir to check: # mdir a: If you still don't get a light, make sure the floppy device is "seen", first by looking in /var/adm/messages (it might show up as an rx26 or just fd0), then by checking the cables, etc. You might have a bad drive. -Brian [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
