>Description:
When trying to mount floppies that has a S51K/S52K file system type
I get an error message "Wrong Super Block." The floppies were created
using Interactives ATT System V, release 3.1 OS. BSD's man lists 
several fstypes but none would let me mount the floppies. I have many
floppies with needed information. Is there a kernel patch or a 
workaround?
Thanks ....

 Sorry, System V filesystems (the old ones, they now use UFS, too) are
 unsupported.

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

 It's not a bug that you can't mount an unsupported file system, so this is
 the wrong forum for your problem.
 
 You could treat it as a useful project to implement support (maybe read only)
 for file systems from old PC Unices.  Or a program I wrote once may save
 your bacon.  I had a number of floppies from Interactive 1.0.6.  Substantially
 older, but probably the same file system layout.  I'll dig it up tonight and
 send it to you under separate wrapper.
 
 Stephen.
