7.4 How to mount MsDos-formatted Syquests on Amiga

   To mount a MSDos-formatted Syquest on Amiga, you need with an (DOSen)
Adaptec-Controller the following Mount-entry in `DEVS:Mountlist': If
your medium does have more than one partition, you need to copy the
following Mount-Entry for every partition and give each partition
another name (eg. SyC:, SyD:, SyE:, etc.) You don't need to change
LowCyl and HighCyl for each partition; CrossDOSFileSystem does that
automatically.
     SyC:   /* SyD:, SyE:, etc. */
             Filesystem      = L:CrossDOSFileSystem
             Device          = scsi.device
             Unit            = 2
             Flags           = 1
             Surfaces        = 1
             BlocksPerTrack  = 1
             BlockSize       = 512
             Reserved        = 1
             Interleave      = 0
             LowCyl          = 0
             HighCyl         = 524287
             Buffers         = 128
             BufMemType      = 0
             Stacksize       = 4000
             Priority        = 5
             GlobVec         = -1
             DosType         = 0x4D534800
             Activate        = 1
     #
   For different (DOSen) controllers this entry should work, too, but
maybe you have to adjust it. When inserted, the Syquest-270MB medium is
(in this case) automatically mounted (as drive SyC:) and can be used
with help of the CrossDOS-Filesystem as usual.
