So to confirm my understanding, therefore you would confidently expect that using the latest version of the CAM-modified CURRENT, my machine will happily recognize, mount and read MSDOS filesystems on 640MB magneto-optical disk with a FUJITSU 2513A (minus of course all the mistakes that I'm might make in configuring this set-up). Somehow I wasn't managing this before, but I'll try again if this is meant to work. Thanks (and to Bruce Evans) for pointing out kern/7210, somehow I missed that one when I searched.
