Hi there -

I have a problem in executing mcopy command from mtools,
to transfer a file to DOS partition to process it with
a dos command. Here's my /usr/local/etc/mtools.conf.

drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive
drive c: file="/dev/wd0s1"

All the rest have been commented out. 
`mdir c:' gives me a correct response, but whenever I try
`mcopy something c:', I get,

>> plain floppy: device "/dev/wd0s1"busy
>> :
>> Cannot initialize 'C:'
>> Bad target

Of course, there's no problem w/ floppy (a:).

Many thanks in advance.
