Of course it failed - the MSDOS FST can't read partitioned MSDOS disks (a
fair probability is that the disk has a single MSDOS partition). And even if
it could read the disk, it probably wouldn't be able to read the disk
because the MSDOS FST can't handle long filenames (it thinks they're volume
name entries, and gets VERY confused!).

Of course, the MSDOS Utilities or MUG! can handle this stuff.  ;-)

Oh, and you can write to the disks as well!

(From memory, I don't think you'll be able to use this software to actually
_format_ a disk for 120MB, but you should be able to read and write just
fine.)

>Don't expect to be able to use the 120MB disks though.

Why not?  ;-)
