   Having not much knowledge about UNIX devices I tried to port "mtools", a PD
   collection of MS-DOS read/write-tools for Unix. It compiled well, but didn't
   work, obviously, because it requires a raw disk device instead of a block
   disk device. A driver for this seems to be missing from the Linux kernel.

No, you can just use the block disk device.  It's already been ported to
Linux, however.  (although it's pretty easy to port)

On TSX-11.MIT.EDU:

/pub/linux/ports/mtools-patches.tar --- contains some patches to make
		mtools compile on linux and to add support of > 32 Meg
		DOS hard disk partitions.

/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin/mtools_sh.?.Z --- contains the latest
		version of the mtools package
