Hi,Garrett,
I am afraid show all files wont help because the disk is definately EMPTY.

Anyone know where to download the disk iso or can someone supply the disk ?.

Cheers in advance.

I have it.

How would you like it? An .LHA or .ZIP of all the files on the disk, or an .ADF of the disk?

Post back and I'll upload it.

The AmiVGA box, is no more than a Commodore "silver" VGA adapter with an nice 23pin RGB output, without the need to unplug.  :-)

Ok, here it is:

My disk is also labeled "Empty", and this is all it has inside.  It is a bootable floppy with a tiny startup sequence that runs the programs "vga" and then "sorry".

No idea what either of them do. I havent really been able to try my AmiVGA properly; I'm not even sure what it should do!

Anyway, hope it helps somewhat. :-)

HI,d0pefish, thanks anyway.
we will have to see what we can find out.

Its states in the instructions to boot the disk from floppy,
but as is the same for you, there is nothing to boot from !

We are missing something,perhaps someone out there
can enlighten us more.

cheers,mark
