I got and installed the DLL, include files (which were with DLL) and also
your version of mount utility. I can't still read my floppy (without
speaking about hard drives). Here is my bash session:
------------------------------------------------
/temp $ uname -a
CYGWIN_98-4.10 PCDASH 21.0 (0.7/1/1) 1999-1-14 19:19:56 i586 unknown
/temp $ mount
Device Directory Type Flags
\\.\b: /dev/fd1 RAW -----b-
\\.\a: /dev/fd0 RAW -----b-
C: / FAT32 ---c-tu
/temp $ ls /dev/fd0
ls: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory
/temp $ dd if=/dev/fd0 of=boot.bin bs=512 count=1
dd: /dev/fd0: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------
The floppies were mounted with:
> mount -b //./a: /dev/fd0
and
> mount -b //./b: /dev/fd1
The floppy was inside the drive a during the bash session. My system is
Win98 and CygWin B20.1 + your mount and your dll.
Am I missing something ???
Best regards,
Serguei.
P.S. Your readme say that some feateres are for NT only. Does it mean that
i will not be able to read /dev/fd0 and/or /dev/hda ???
