  ^^^^^
"OS3.x" ?!?! Don't you mean "BFFS 1.5"?

OS3.x behaves correctly with other DOSDrivers (e.g. like JAZ:, which
is mounted on my system via DOSDriver). It seems that the BFFS 1.5
FileSystem is the faulty element.

Or is it my configuration (DOSDriver Options [Mountlist entries] - see
my initial mail)?
