Taping off the one side really helps. I use taped HD disks
in my DD amiga drive when I have to and they work fine,
although it still may not be good for the drive (I haven't had
problems...yet
). I know that without tape they will
definately "jack up" the amiga drive though.
The Linksys 'may' work depending on the type...I had one (it had
the 'dongle' built into the card) and it crashed the system
immediately. Some do work though...check cnet.device for the
full list. There's also a guy selling Linksys cards that are 1200
compatabile on Ebay right now...you could check to see if they're
the same etc.
Miami needs a key that isn't availabile anymore..there's a 30min
demo on aminet, but the archive is too big to crossdos on a 720k
disk. Genesis comes free with OS3.9, but then you need a CD
drive...you will need either one though to browse/ftp.
Check
www.vapor.com for an ftp program...also check aminet
there may be free ones.
