!DFS should work fine, at least it does for me. I have a 5.25 drive as ADFS 
drive 1 so when I use !DFS I simply use the drive icons 1 and 3. If you are 
trying to use it as drives 0 and 2, make sure you do not have a DFS image file 
inside the !DFS directory or it will use that instead.

Another one to try is !DFSReader. The original version can be got from:
http://www.acornsearch.com/archives/ftp.uni-
stuttgart.de/pub/systems/acorn/riscos/fromUTS/
and there is an updated version somewhere although I can't find it on google 
ATM.

Email me back if you are still having problems and I'll send you some more 
programs to try.

Mike.
