you can read pc disks and i know how to activate the drivers and i know that i must use a DD disk.
i found 1! PC DD Disk it says 720kb IBM-PC
but my pc disk drive wont reconise it.
cant modern pc-drives read or write to these disks
and if i bought a hd-disk-drive for the a1200
would i be able to copy files from pc to amiga simple.
and are there any otherway of getting the files to amiga
You can use HD (1.44Mb) floppy's by using this trick:
Take a piece of sticky tape of about 1" (2.5cm) (blah) (blah)
I use such floppy's for years now without malfunctioning!

Umm, i've known those floppies to be picky @ keeping data there. i.e. for me those floppies don't last for a week without corrupting the data :-( i just use it to instantly transfer stuff (that was b4 i got my network pcmcia card :-D [flipping amiga don't support wireless *inaudible mumbles*]) ;-)
