I was looking through the docs about formatting floppies and stuff, and right
before it they were talking about mounting filesystems. On the Amiga, this
means that we could mount a file system on the floppy, and this would definitely
be a selling point for universities and educational facilities because you would
be able to mount a filesystem for a user and that user can take his file system
home with him. (hey, that would take care of quota problems!!) Solve a lot of
problem in terms of disk usage on the system.
This is most likely a very dense question, and I have not had a chance to take
a look at other Release 4 systems. So here goes. Is there such a feature on the
Unix boxes for the 486's?? I'm just looking for a selling point, so I can
convince others at the CS department to buy it.
Commodore guys:
Hey, are 1.2meg floppy drives standard on the AmigaUX? For some reason I think
I only got the regular 800K drive. On AmigaDOS I tried to format a floppy but
it only gave me 875K rather than 1.2K. Just wondering....
Yours,
