Floppy for A1200 ?
« on: April 30, 2004, 10:32:43 AM »
First off , hi !
It's good to know that the Amiga community is still alive and well.
I've been seduced to the dark side (micro$oft)for the last 9 years , I work with the blooming things.
I've just got hold of a 1200 with HD ,because I want to play with the music s/ware I used all those years ago (Music X and try to learn Bars and Pipes )
The machine seems to work fine but the floppy seems to be knacked.
Are floppies still available , or can I mod a PC floppy for DF0 ?
I do have an A500 in the loft somewhere , would the floppy from that fit/work in the 1200 ?
I'd like to keep the A500 in one peice if possible though.

Thanks for your time  :-)

Cheers ,
         Will

Thanks for the replies.
I've tried the A500 drive , but it's too tall.
I have managed to get the original drive working though  :-D
Right , next question , is it safe to format pc HD discs as DD on the Amiga ?
Will this lead to longterm problems ?

Cheers ,
