It was bundled with AmigaOS 2.1 and later, though it did work under Amiga OS 2.04. Its function was to allow working with floppy disks formatted for PCs (amongst others). It also allowed an Amiga to read disks formatted with an Atari ST.
Notable features include:
- ASCII text filter (Could add or remove CR/LF as needed)
- Automatic disk-change detection
- MS-DOS Hard disk configuration software
- Support for Double Density and High Density
Amongst others. When mounting a CrossDOS disk you would refer to the floppy drive as PC0: and PC1: rather than DF0: and DF1:
