Linking sw

[seer]

Amiga OS 3 comes with a program called "crossdos" that allows the Migy to read PC formatted floppies. Search for a "PC0" icon on one of the Amiga OS disks.. Let's see.. On the Extra disk perhaps ? It's been so long since I used a floppy only Miggy...

Anyway, "mount" PC0:, insert the PC formatted disk, and you should be able to read it..

Hope this helps a little

Appreciate the thought but, i'll pay you money if you can prove to me a AMI 880k floppy drive can read a PC formatted 1.44mb floppy formatted TO 1.44mb, especially since the hardware Gurus at my local ami tell me it can't be done.  



Your welcome, but like MadOne said, 720K disk work.. And it is only to get 1 program over from the PC to the Miggy, after that you use a serial link to transfer files.. ;-)

okay, so, essentially what you're saying is that without copying the AMi half of the software to a disk (however it's formatted) it's not going to link even though the docs for the program say it should. Is this correct?

Ehm.. No..

You take a DD Floppy disk (720K) and format it on a PC, or take HD floppy disk (1.4Mb) and format it to 720Kb. Copy the Ami software to the 720Kb formatted disk, AFAIL it should fit as it was designed to be done this way.

Boot your 1200, mount PC0:, read the manuals if you need to, or ask for more help here, pop in the 720 Kb formatted disk and run the Amiga program..

This any clear ?
