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.
