[Oberon] A2 won't mount: AosFS, NatFS, FatFS

[Chris Glur]

A2 seems to have good facilities to test USBs.
I've got 2 BlueBottle CDs [externally} marked as:
=  A2 2006-08-27 Rev. 1560
=  2009 Feb 19 Rev. 2081

Neither was able to mount IDE0, but luckily Backup.Tool 
was able to save my log of test attempts, pasted here:---

= this CD has *USB*Text* re. "2008"

--> examine actual date-info in CD-files, to locate newer CD.

CD has 
CD:BluetoothUSB.Mod = 01.12.2005 Cleanup (staubesv) <-- 01.12.2005
  CD:UsbNetworkUSB200M.Mod = 19.12.2006	
==> CD:USB.Bin	 19.02.2009 15:28:58	625252  <-- date of CD copy ?

----> try CD: A2 2008-09-27 Rev 1560:-

2. Usage
2.1 Starting the USB driver
Call PCITools.DetectHardware ~ ==Call error: Oberon.PCITools.DetectHardware not found

System.Directory  *Usb*Obx ==  36 files
5.1 USB Storage Devices
When you want to mount a USB storage device automatically at system start up time, 
you can't just use the normal mount commands provided by FSTools.Mod.
Use the UsbTools.Mount command.  == Call error: Oberon.UsbTools.Obx not found <-- ?
or Use the UsbTools.BlockingMount command. == Call error: Oberon.UsbTools.Obx not found
UsbTools.*  -> CD:UsbTools.Obx
System.CopyFiles CD:UsbTools.Obx => Oberon.UsbTools.Obx ~
Use the UsbTools.Mount command.  == Call error: Oberon.UsbTools.Mount not found

=== End of log of test attempts  ===
I'm deleting the USB test results, which we now know more
about that when I wrote this text.

But apart from USB matters:
 why can't I mount my IDE partitions ?
 and is my method of masking CD:Oberon.Text valid.
 
TIA, 

Chris Glur.
