Hi,

To just boot into DOS you can just format a floppy on the PC and transfer the system to it, this is done by typing "sys a:" (if a: is your diskdrive, ofcourse). This does however not work on anything newer than Windows 98 (well, perhaps also with Windows ME?).

If you want to make a partition on the Amiga for use with PC-Task/PCX you need fdisk to partition it to a format the PC can understand.
Slightly bored and severly confused..

And of course you need a 68060 accelerator. Any slower processor does not allow to run anything useful on a PC emulator.


I don't fully agree on this, if it's just to play some really old DOS games a slower processor may work pretty well. Some EGA and CGA games runs pretty well on my 040/40.

But ofcourse, the faster processor the better.
