Fortunately, the amiga can use 4 disk drives at a time with multitasking, so you can adf them in about 1250 minutes (with 2 minutes per disk for verifying), that makes about 21 hours of non stop work if the miggy is not dead before ^_^

See thats kinda what I was wondering. What software would support dumping multiple floppies at the same time to adf.

Just launch four times TSGui. Multitask rulez! You guys have been using Windows for too long!

I am pretty sure that i can use all the drives at the same time. As i own also a catweasel with PC drive in my A1200T, i will give it a try with no less than 5 drives as soon as i can dig out my external drives (maybe this sunday).

I update this thread because i have finally tried what i said earlier.
However i didn't use 5 drives because my tower with the cateweasel has died this summer.
I used 3 drives, one internal and two external on my desktop A1200 and it worked flawlessly.
I have lauched 3 times TSGUI and saved at the same time 3 adf from DF0:, DF1: and DF2:
The good miggy was also playing some mods with Delitracker and browsing the web with Miami and Ibrowse.
True multitasking indeed!! :)
