Amiga 5.25 floppy - help
« on: August 29, 2007, 12:14:51 AM »
Hallo Amigans
Few days ago I had received a noname amiga 5.25 disk drive from ebay. I have test it and works perfect, but to my A1200 format and read disks as a normal 3.5 drive (880/720kb). I want to force PC-task to use it as a real 5.25 (360kb) disk drive to format and prepear some disks for my empty and dusty IBM 5155 portable PC.
(the usual switch /f:360 for the format command, didn't accepted, as drive incompatible!!! - amiga thinks have a second 3.5 drive!)
I think all the job is from dosdrivers/PC1 right?
How can I build or download a right PC1 file for my 5.25 drive? Is that the sollussion? :boohoo:
Many thanks

You need a 40 track PC DOS driver, it's a 360K drive not a 720k.


I know it is a 360k drive, how can understand my amiga that? I read first time for that PC DOS driver, where can I find it and where must put it? :-?
