Since I discovered the 'mtools' package, I haven't had occasion to
mount an msdog-formatted floppy.  I highly recommend it: just insert
the floppy and go, switch floppies at will, just like on msdog.  I
even noticed not long ago that it automagically recognizes and deals
with 2m formats (e.g., 1743Kb floppies that are just as stable as the
classic 1440Kb format).  Hats off to the developers!
