Title: Creating toaster disk images
Post by: Dragster on March 24, 2008, 12:52:37 AM

Hi mates... I'm trying to create DMS images of my 45 toaster disks and I've do so for the first 29 of them, owever fromdisk 30 to disk 45 they are high density disks and I can't seem to create the images for those eventhough I'm using my A4K's high density floppy drive... has anybody done this before?

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

thanks!

D.

That's dedication! You really need version 4.3 on CD-Rom. Have you called Newtek? They will sell it to a registered user for very little as long as they have copies left. I personally gave up on the floppy disk version after waiting for 30 disks to load and then finding a corrupt one at 31 or so.

Sure!  As the previous poster wrote, just contact NewTek and purchase a LEGAL copy of version 4.3 on CD which includes the last version of LightWave for the Amiga, v5.0.  They only charge around $30 USD for it, which has to be the best bargain on any Amiga software I can think of.

@TjLaZer

Very nice, but, if I were you I'd edit that out before someone here takes offence to it...

Just add HD to your command line syntax.

I bought a 4.3 disc and floppy from NewTek about two months ago, but I do recall a time when NewTek recommended I find another owner that was willing to make a copy for me. I probably still have the email around here somewhere.... Still, getting it from NewTek is the best (if not necessarily the easiest and quickest) way.
