Title: ADF-to-floppy util needed for KS1.3
Post by: blakespot on July 05, 2013, 04:46:01 PM

I've got my serial transfer issues sorted. Now, I need a util that will write out ADF files to floppies in my Amiga 1000 under KS 1.3. On Aminet, adf2disk and image2disk both require KS2.0+.

Surely there is a util out there that allows this for KS1.3 systems... No?

Can anyone point me to such a util? Thanks.

Couldn't you just soft kick KS2?

Failing that, you could convert the ADFs to DMS and use Disk Masher to write them to floppy.  I remember using it on my 1.3 A500 back in the day.

I use ADF Sender Tool on the PC and transwarp on the Amiga with 1.3 to send and write ADFs to floppies.

Not a GUI, but works great...
(Well, not a GUI on the Amiga side, ADF Sender Tool is a Windows GUI program)

Transdisk also works under 1.3

There is an USB to floppy adapter called KryoFlux which nowadays can put ADF's to disk.
Or you could opt for AmigaExplorer, but then you need Workbench 1.3 as well.

As another option there's always this:

http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62243

I have one and it works great, it's what I used when I first got my 1.3 A500 to get it up & running with some games and other software, and then later create 3.1 setup disks when I began to expand my system.  Now a'days if I want to transfer software over I just burn it to a rewritable CD with my PC and read it back on the Amiga, but when I was using this kit I had zero issues outside of when I'd use a bad (20+ years old) floppy disk.

*Side note - I actually feel pretty bad for the guy selling this kit after the bashing he took in that thread.  Can't speak for the other guy's issues but it worked great for me, so just passing along a recommendation.  :)

Catweasel works great too

TransADF (on Aminet) will write ADF's to disk.  Using Kryoflux will work but its overkill considering it was designed to write copy protected IPF back to disk.
