Digiman:
Then apparently I have extra hardware, cause I can format 1.72MB disks as well as read them.
psxphill:
Amiga Tech A1200s already had high density drives in them? I had to order one specifically instead of having a low density one supposedly. Then he credited the amount for the low density one off the high denisty one for only including it, as I recall.
Mine must be one of the smart drives, cause it's always worked like a normal high density drive. And perhaps the dealer did one of those implementations mentioned, like the PLCC.
I did mean a regular Commodore A600 or A1200s not resurrected A1200s from ESCOM etc. I know they had different drives which is why I never bid on them on ebay etc. Interesting that they can read/write HD Amiga format disks.
Any more info on this anyone? I would be interested in getting an AT A1200 now if I can get a HD disk formatted on it.
(otherwise it ain't worth the ass ache with all the problems the AT A1200 disk drive has loading older/tricky disk formats on original games)
