Without confusing matters with what or why, I'm trying to mount an 8.3 DOS floppy but the directory listing is mostly ????????.???. It checks out fine on DOS, scandisk and all. The directory is in fine shape. BUT it contains some files with "!" and "@" as the first letter of the name. That seems to be the problem. I've tried "mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy -o codepage=437 -t msdos", no joy. Does anybody know a workaround? (I need to replace one file and I don't want to garbage-up the directories.)
FWIW, I have a tarball I made of the DOS HD that came off, and "tar tf ..." shows the files beginning with "!" in quotes. I can extract that and ls shows them in quotes too. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates." (I do not personally endorse any additions after this line.
