Title: WTB: FaaastPREP 2.0 Floppy (GVP)
Post by: tokyoracer on November 24, 2009, 07:28:11 PM

I am currently in need of this disk. I used to have it but stupidly sold it as a job lot of floppies without thinking about it.
I got a GVP Impact Series II add-on for the A500 plus I have the manual which I found by accident but no floppy.

If anyone has one they can sell then please let me know. Would like it with the correct label too but is not essential.

Post here or PM me if you could help out.

Thanks! :)

Write it on a PC floppy, and read it on the amiga with cross-dos?

Nope.

First, turn the DMS into an ADF with dms2adf on a PC: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=23587 or another tool, and then use this: http://aminet.net/disk/misc/TransADF.lha on an Amiga to write the ADF to disk.

There might be a quicker way, but this always works for me.

I think he meant how to get it on the amiga?
 
Writing the dms to a HD PC-floppy and undms it on the amiga using crossdos on the amiga to read the pc-floppy is the quickest way IMHO.

Thanks tone007! I just rememberd I got a CF transfer kit and forgot about the ADF to floppy converter! :D
