Amiga to PC ZIP Disk Format ?
« on: January 07, 2005, 03:54:11 AM »
Hi -

I'm full of questions tonight, aren't I?
I've found that many files I download with my PC
from Aminet are too large to fit on a 770K floppy.

I plugged my ZIP 100 SCSI into my Amiga 1200 (with GVP 1230 and 1291 SCSI adapter) and used GVP's Faaast Prep to format the drive.  No problem - except that the PC will not recognize the ZIP disk now.  I've read that the ZIP Disk can be configured with CrossDoss somehow - but how?  Setting up the Floppy Drives was EZ - just dragging the icons from one drawer to the next.  Do I have do conduct some fancy CLI mountlist modifications to get this to work?

Sorry for all the questions - I'm rusty !

Hello Piru (and others) !

The ZIP drive I'm using is the fancy ZIP Plus drive that is both SCSI and Parallel.  I'm connecting it via the SCSI port on my GVPA1230/1291 adapter.

Thank you for the suggestions.  Today is Saturday and my day to play with the Amiga.  I'll try your different suggestions and see what works out !

You guys are all The Best !

THANKYOUThankYouthankyou!
