Reading MS-DOS floppies on the 3B2

[Stephen J. Friedl]

Hi folks,

    We just got an ad for a product that lets a 3B2 work with
MS-DOS floppies, and I've included part of this ad below (I
dropped out most of the ad hype):

-------------------------------------------------------------------
These products are comprised of sets of functions normally used in
the MS-DOS environment which may be directly executed from UNIX.
Six functions were included in 3B-2-DOS, and our new 3B-2-PC incorporates
ten.  The equivalents of these useful commands are described
below:

3B-2-DOS	3B-2-PC		   Function
--------	---------	-------------------------------
DOSLS		PC-DIR		List MS-DOS directories
DOSCAT		PC-TYPE		Lists MS-DOS files
DOSCP		PC-COPY		Copies to/from MS-DOS diskettes
DOSRM		PC-DEL		Deletes MS-DOS files
DOSMKDIR	PC-MD		Makes MS-DOS directories
DOSRMDIR	PC-RD		Removes MS-DOS directories
		PC-CD		Changes MS-DOS directories
		PC-FORMAT	Formats 360k MS-DOS floppies
		PC-MOUNT	Mount MS-DOS floppies
		PC-UNMOUNT	Unmount MS-DOS floppies

List price:

	3B-2-DOS (for System V Rel 2.0.4)		$ 495
	3B-2-PC  (For System V Rel 3.*)			$ 595
