Title: Atari ST Makedisk software for Amiga?
Post by: save2600 on March 01, 2010, 10:26:00 PM

Anyone aware of this MSDOS program or similar for use on the Amiga? Some time spent on the web and Aminet did not reveal anything. No PC at the house and the machines I have left with floppies are the Amiga and ST.

Nope, the only closest thing is CrossDOS.  ;)  You could possibly write custon DOS Drivers for larger DOS disks.  But you wont be able to write MSA or ST images to a disk unless you write a program.  Just do it on a PC.  Get Floppy Image for XP, it works great.

Speaking of CrossDos.. I was just thinking (uh-oh)... I've got a software based PC emulator (heck, I even have a 2088 Bridgeboard that I've never used for that matter) and DOS 3.3. What are the odds that the software emulator would run MakeDisk? lol  That would be kinda cool actually...  using an Amiga to emulate a PC to write disks for an ST :lol:
