Udo Erdelhoff <ue@nathan.ruhr.de> probably said:

give /usr/ports/emulators/mtools a try :-) It also works for MSDOS ZIP disks.

While mtools is very useful in a lot of circumstances, and I use it a fair bit, it's not as versatile as actually mounting the disk. As far as I'm aware mtools cannot make a disk seem like it's mounted or act directly on the disk's contents (with the possible exception of renaming).

When I'm looking through a 1gb jaz disk for a file containing something, being able to see the names of files and copy them to another disk isn't very useful.
