I have an old A2000 in the basement that has been turned on maybe once or twice in the past 10 years. The HD on it is dead (it boots sometimes and then hits errors on the disk and crashes). I do have two spare SCSI drives I could swap it with but have never gotten around to it (ROFL).

Anywho... I have a GVP accelerator / SCSI controller / ram expansion combo card in it. I think there is 8 mb of ram (two 4 mb chips) and an 030 at 30 Mhz. How much would it be worth on today's market? (PS - I'm in Canada).

On another note, when I moved, all my Amiga disks got lost in the shuffle. I think the boxes they were in got mixed up with the ones for the trash. So I have NO Amiga disks, no OS disks... not even one game disk! I do have .adf versions of some of my disks which I created to use with WinUAE prior to loosing my disks. Can anyone make any suggestions on how I can create bootable Amiga OS disks from an .adf file using only a PC?

Thanks.

Short answer: you can't.

It is possible to write Amiga disks on a PC but then you need a special diskcontroller like the Catweasel.

Hi,
what are you willing to pay for one?
Should have included that in your post.

@RRunner
it might be possible if you got two floppies in PC or connect a wire to parallel port, at least to read Amiga diskettes, maybe write them too
