why dont you just partition and format it on the actual amiga instead of the hassle of uae?

The ACA500+ should include all the tools you need to be able to do this.

The original 3.1 install disks have everything you need to do it !

Well, that too.  But you and I both know that people tend to lose those over the years, floppy disks go bad, people don't want to pay for new ones, blah blah.  The ACA 500+ (which OP mentions owning) includes the capability to install & partition a 3.1 system directly, without any disks.  Or so it says in it's product description, lol.  :rofl:

One can buy the latest and greatest 3.1 disks

All for the princely sum of $16 USD.  :lol:

Edit - here's the disks, looks like they're on pre-order currently.  Usually they have them.
