well. i don't get what all the fuss is about.

Do you have the dosdriver for "pc0" disks?
Usually it is located in storage/dosdrivers

If so, just put pc0 in devs/dosdrivers. Reboot and format the DD floppy in workbench as pc0. Just don't put trash in it.

I have never had any problems with that.
before i got the zip drive to read pc formatted zips it was the only way i hat to copy files from pc to amiga...
And it always worked. the amiga was even slightly faster at formatting pc disks than mu pc was...
