Somewhere in your colelction of Workbench disks you will find a PC0 device, that will allow you to read and write PC (720K) formated disks.

If you want to use High Density ones, you have to put tape over the HD hole in the side of the disk, and you can then use it as a Double density disk.

Um... the only workbench disks I have are the ones for WB1.3 (ONE floppy)

WB 2.1 is on the hdd... will this PC0 thing be in there by default as part of the OS?  if not... a) where can i get it...

and b)
taping over the hole on a high density disk... will that make my PC floppy drive write the data differently? Do standard floppy drives adapt like that? or do they only take one kind of disk....?

Look around the Devs dir, there should be a PC0 dos driver in there some where.

The Amiga Disk drive will treat all disks as Double density. But the PC drive will treat a High Density disk differently. So you have to put tape over the HD hole on the Floppy so that the PC thinks it is a double density disk, as the Amiga will read and write to it in this format.
