Many people had responded "yes" to this question; while I would suggest
the answer "no." I haven't had the need to do this either myself--so I
haven't done it either. But I would say, it all depends on whether
RamFast SCSI or Apple H.S. SCSI recognize the DOS partition. While the
MSDOS.FST might be able to read the DOS disk, if the SCSI card doesn't
recognize the partition, it doesn't matter whether MSDOS.FST can read it
or not. :-)
