HD floppy disks on Amiga 500

[luis_pt]

is it possible to use 2HD floppy disks, the ones we get on the stores today, on the Amiga 500?
if not, in europe, there's any place where we can buy it?

[luis_pt]

but, since i format the HD floppy in a low density mode (i think that is available at windows, isn't it?) i can really use it as a normal DD floppy?

the problem is that i don't have the DD floopy's to transfer files from the PC

[luis_pt]

didn't made my point!

this is the idea

1. get the HD floopy's
2. format as a DD floopy
3. put the ADF file there, and open it in the amiga, using cross-dos
4. convert the files with ADF2DISK and put them on a HD floopy and so i can use this floppy on the amiga

what should i call it? diskette?

That should theoretically work. I heard different opinions about the "long-term reliability" of HD-disks formatted as DD though.
But why don't you use a serial link for transferring the files?

i don't have a hard disk...

the main point is really the games.
making no plans of using amiga for important work!

there is any place where i can get DD floppy disks?
