amiga 1200 crossdos problem
« on: July 09, 2004, 04:56:49 PM »
Can anyone please help, I am a complete newbie to amiga and I am having problems using crossdos. I have a A1200 with no hard drive and workbench 3.1. Is it possible to convert adf files to amiga disk. any help would be greatly apreciated as im completly stuck. I have tried copying pc0 to the devs/dosdrivers and it says it is mounted, but when i insert a pc formated disk in the drive it just says its a dfo:
 :-?

I am using 720k disks formated using the pc. There were no error messages displayed when I copied pc0 to the dos drivers folder on my workbench disk, when I enter cd pc0: into the shell its says object not found. Also if if I try and mount pc0 again it says that pc0 is allready mounted. Also if i try and mount the drive from amigados startup screen it ask me to insert volume edf

think ive finally found the problem i needed to copy the handler for cross across to the workbench disk. the file was hidden on the extras disk, and you needed to click on show all files, then there was a folder called L I think the file is called crossdos.handler or something similar

 :-D problem sorted thanks very much for that headache curing.
