oh

mount -o loop -t affs imagefile.adf /mountpoint

ls -lhr /mountpoint/

viola (just need amiga support in kernel)

 KM> Drive Doctor was really good at doing that.

okay i still wonder how aminet checking virus for amiga, might be the linux mount trick ?

 KM> Yeah, but I really liked Drive Doctor. 8-)

yep hope the source will come up to aminet, i got the complete xenolink sources, but lost it before i got it ready for aminet :(

 KM> Disksalv  is the way to go there for sure. I found another very good

i will warn about make changes inplace even with disksalv, it must be the latest v4 of disksalv, v3 and lover have a number of bugs that trash filesystem even worse then not a dos disk, atleast this is not rdb loose but if its system partion one is loost

 KM> Do you mean floppy based classic amiga games?

have some disk yes, mostly from magasines that have some games each

i got this one from a fellow xenolink user/sysop, he sold his a3000t aswell to another friend, damm i would have taked this one to, if i had known it in time, but okay i got a a4000t now :)
