Sooo . . take an 880K amiga disk (I assume you have one that you can sacrifice) format it in your PC and move the adf file to this disk.


I always thought that PC's couldn't read and format
Amiga 880K DD disks...:roll:On the other hand, it's
possible that Amiga's could read and format PC disks though...Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Since I can see you are an Amiga 4000 man you can actually read a regular High Density PC disk in the High Density A4K floppy drive . . . asumming you have CrossDOS running.


Yes, I know that I can use HD PC disks with my A4000
& even with my A630 with original Chinon 1,76MB HD FDD.
But I never needed CrossDos to run though...
I think you mean that if the PC disk is PC formatted,
then I would have to run CrossDos in the background?
OK, but I never use the FDD for file transfer between
PC and Amiga. For that purpose I use cd-roms or compact-flash cards with the PCMCIA2CF adapter...

720kb...That's too little capacity for any serious
file-transfer! :lol:

@Amidude: is it easy for someone to find one of this pcmcia cards? i didn't even know that exist...


You can find PCMCIA to CompactFlash adapters in many
electronics or computer shops. They're also frequently
for sale on eBay.
