DOS or Windows disks mount automatically on your Mac desktop. Access
to directories and files on DOS-formatted media is completely
transparent. DOS Mounter 98's extension mapping automatically provides
a link from pre-established DOS file extensions to the appropriate
Macintosh application. Like any Macintosh document, DOS or Windows
files can be easily opened and edited by any compatible Macintosh
application.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k PPC

DOS Mounter 98, installs either a 68k or PPC version depending on the
type of Mac it installs to.

![Warning][11] | Note: DOS Mounter 98 is not Mac OS 9 compliant. It
may fail on those systems (it does not work for me on Mac OS 9.1).

 * System Requirements:
   * Any Macintosh computer (Macintosh Classic or above)
   * 1 megabyte of RAM
   * System 7.0 or later including Mac OS 8.5.1
 * Media Supported:
   * High-density floppies
   * SyQuest, Bernoulli, Zip & Jazz removable cartridges
   * Rewritable magneto-optical media
   * SCSI and IDE hard drives
 * The full version includes a formatter capable of formatting in
   HFS, HFS+, and DOS. The full version can also create multiple
   partitions of Mac and DOS on the same disk.
 * Removable media drives must use DOS Mounter's driver. Temporarily
   disable other driver extensions (e.g.; Iomega Driver).
 * DOS Mounter 98 is not able to read an NTFS partitions.
 * PC Exchange, included with the Mac OS from System 7.5 on, will
   interfere with DOS Mounter 98's ability to load and should be
   disabled, and the Macintosh restarted in order for DOS Mounter to
   load correctly.
 * In MacOS 8.5+, "PC Exchange" is renamed as "File Exchange" ?This
   should also be disabled.
 * If installing onto Basilisk II, Mini vMac, QEMU, or SheepShaver,
   the MultiMounter Extension will not be required (it may not be
   required for most situations). By using the "Custom Install"
   feature, you can avoid installing the MultiMounter Extension, as
   it can cause crashes if installed on Mac emulators.
