Octamed tutorials biggest file size >720kb
« on: December 13, 2006, 05:59:19 AM »
 :-?

How can I put the LHA file from Octamed V5 tutorial which is larger than the standard 720kb thrue a FD?

Our friend Jiffy succesfully transported from his computer the 4 files of tutorials. But when I finaly had the time to install them onto my Miggy, I found out the 2nd part was not copied, although the computer actualy prompt it was done!

Is there a way to compress a LHA file (again) on the PC so I can unpack it on the Amiga 1200?

I read once there is a possibility to install another type of FDD (High density Drive?) so the capacity changes from 720 to 880kb. Is that right?

please inform me.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to format a DD (amiga) floppy to > 720kb?

I read the PC format command line /t:8 /n:90 somewhere here on the Amigasite, but is there also e line for formating to 880kb?

I upgraded the chipset (3.0 -> 3.1) and bought a 2 GB ext. Scsi HD.
Using Octamed to create musix. My ultimate hobby.
Eversince I saw a friend making music on the Amiga, I got addicted and never looked further. I develope my knowledge thrue this site: Let me say: I went back to high-school. The Amiga College of the World. :lol:
