Fat format discs.
« on: May 06, 2007, 07:54:01 PM »
I have lots of floppy discs that i used on a old ms 98 box,That system is long gone but there is a ms system somewhere in the house lol:
Is it possible to format the discs so my Amiga 1200 can Recognize them?

I did that on my sons box but the Amiga would not Recognize them ,It would not open the files that i put on it there was just ??? below the disc on the workbench desktop.
The file was amiTCP stack that i extracted from the archive.

Ok what i have been doing is formating the discs as only i can as FAT on ms.
They then are seen as DF0??? on mig and wont format as you get  
message Not a valid DOS disk.
They are MF2-HD floppys.

@Piru & odin

Thanks for the help there, with a few big rolls of sticky tape i should be able to use these floppy's as back up discs for my Amiga.
