Hello ! – Heres a stupid question from a noob, I just found my A600 in my parents loft and it’s still works great and I’m having a blast with my old Demo’s and games. – My question is, if I download a DMS file and write it to a floppy, can I use it in my Amiga ? – I don’t have a floppy drive on either of my PC’s but I can buy an external PC floppy drive cheaply, I just don want to spend the money if it wont work ! – Thanks in advance - Scott - PS, love the site but most of the information is well beyond me !
Nope.. you cant write a amiga disk on a pc without a controller addon like the catweasel. The amiga is on the other hand compatible with DD 720k dos formatted floppies. If you have WB 2.1 or newer in that a600 then it is a good chance it comes with crossdos, which lets you read pc floppies easily.
You could use a null modem cable+cloanto amigaforever to transfer messydos or crossdos over if you dont have it on your WB/extras floppies. The only issue with this is that you have to compress adf/dms files to 2 seperate files if they are over the 720k pc format limit.
