Great!
Happy to hear that you got it up-and-running.

BTW,
For any "DOS addicts" (such as myself), who might like to setup the Linux
"mount points" to duplicate your DOS setup.
First, I created a /dos directory on the Linux drive.
And then subdirectories under /dos
a: (3-1/2" 1.44mb)
b: (5-1/4" 1.2mb)
c: |---dos HDD
d: |
e: |
f: |
g: |
h: |
i: |
j: |
k: |---drives
q: (cd1)
r: (cd2)
Next, I edited my fstab file and rebooted after saving the changes.
---- /etc/fstab -----
