Hi,
I want to convert some ADF's to floppy disk to run on my Amiga 600. All I have is 1mb of Ram, external disk drive and a nullmodem cable. What is the fastest and easiest method to do this?
I have herd of using amiga explorer (and drag and drop)and PCMCIA to Compact Flash adapter but it all seems confusing. Can you use WinUAE to convert the ADF's back to floppy? I can use my freinds A1200 with a HDD it this would help.
Can I put the ADF's on a CD Rom and run them on a 600 or 1200?
Hope someone can point me in the right direction as I've been wanting to do this now for years.

We have developed EasyADF for use with the PCMCIA Transfer Kit for this task:

EasyADF will convert disks into ADFs and ADFs into disks with a few clicks. It will work on a stock A600 and A1200.

Thanks I think I will get one. Do you think my A600 without a hard drive will be ok? and how long do each adf take to convert on average?

A hard disk is not needed- simply boot from the EasyADF disk.
Typically an ADF takes around a minute to convert to floppy disk

Great this all sounds just the ticket. I guess I will need a flash card & reader, I do have however have a reader and cards that I use for my kodak camera. The flash cards are about 4cm by 3.5cm and 4" thick. Are these the correct cards that are need with the adapter? The reader is USB.
