Re: Dos 33 Launcher

As it says right in that link, MountIt only mounts ProDOS images. So, I return to my original question: how do I use a DOS 3.3 disk image file that resides on an AppleShare volume?

If you can see that file via the IIGS Finder, the potential is there for DOS 3.3 Launcher to launch it. You first have to run the DOS 3.3 Copier program, select that disk image you want to use (it can ONLY be a .dsk image, not a .DO or .nib) set its launch parameters (defaults are best), then once you've returned to the Finder, double click on it.

In my experience, whole disk images are less likely to work than single binary programs. What are you wanting to run via GS/OS? You might also want to copy that disk image to your SCSI drive rather than trying to launch it over AppleTalk – it'll eliminate one less thing in an already fairly complex process.
