amiga 1200 crossdos problem

Load up workbench, insert the disk you want to use.
2 icons should appear, one saying DFO and another PCO.

Format the PCO: drive, if it says PC0: ?
If it doesnt, but another icon says DF0: ? then you are on the right track.

The Amiga will try to read the disk as if it's BOTH a df0: and a PC0:

Just open a shell, and type
cd pc0:
dir

you should see the contents of the PC disk.  Of course, the A1200 can only read Low Density PC 3.5" disks.  (720K, NOT the more common 1.4M disks)

If you do not see the contents of the disk, type FORMAT PC0:
Then try again
