How to save my aging amiga floppies
« on: January 15, 2008, 05:32:24 AM »
Hey all, So I have several boxes worth of old amiga floppy disks. I'm sure many are corrupt but there may be some that still have good data on them. What i would like to do is be able to put them into my a1200 and create disk "images" of them so they can be transferred to my pc and be used with winuae. The only experience i had with making floppy images on my amiga was dms, but i dont remember how to get that working. Can anyone recommend a good solution for this?

Thanks

Actually that is exactly how I was able to save all of my 245MB amiga harddrive files. I had a 256MB CF card and bought the pcmcia CF card reader for $10 and it worked like a charm! I would prefer not to purchase separate software just to convert the floppies to adf. I guess I'll look around for a freeware utility that can do that.

Thanks again.

haha good one, but I do not use any p2p apps and haven't for many many years so I don't know the first place to find amiga games, demos, etc from. Not that I'm asking that question here, just stating a fact. Thanks for all the help though everyone, good stuff :)
