The CrossDOS version which comes with WB 2.1 or better works on Kick 1.3 either. The only difficulty is that these floppies are formatted with FFS which cannot be read on Kick 1.3. So you first have to use a Kick 2.0 Amiga to read the disks and copy the required files to OFS floppies so Kick 1.3 can read them.

Uhh, I would appreciate further elaboration, I got a little confused, by "floppy" you mean "disk" right ?


The correct term for the medium is "floppy disk" and the term for the machine is "floppy disk drive". "Floppy" usually refers to the medium but sometimes also refers to the drive, you have to look at the context. "Disk" can also refer to a CD or a ZIP or JAZ medium. Again you have to see the context in order to decide if a *floppy* disk is meant.
