Putting ADF's on floppy w/out a hard drive

[motorollin]

Posting more and more ADF to disk utilities won't change the fact that the ADF doesn't fit on the disk.

You have no choice but to put the ADF in RAM and write it back from there, or use the split DMS method above. Secret Hidden Option 3 is to use a Catweasel and write the images on a PC (but probably won't work if the disk is non-DOS).

The RAM disk is a portion of the memory in your Amiga. So it is made up of some of the 1024k of RAM you have installed.

If you boot your Amiga to Workbench, the things that Workbench loads (icons, the interface etc etc) will eat in to your RAM and reduce the amount available to the RAM disk.

So Pete's suggestion is to boot with as little as possible running - ideally just a CLI prompt - so that as little RAM as possible is used up, thus allowing you to use more for the RAM disk.


Using DMS might not work very well if your ADFs are copy protected or Non-DOS, as I'm not sure whether DMS can image these disks. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.


Also, AFAIK you CAN use Amiga Explorer over a NULL modem cable. It will be a bit slow, but it will work.

Fair enough - thanks for the correction.

What version of Workbench are you using?
