You can buy a new internal floppy drive, plus a floppy power and data cable from AmigaKit.  :idea:

The -disableharddrivesafetycheck thing worked, and I was able to format the CF drive in WinUAE. I mounted one of the Classic Workbench hdf's in WinUAE, and copied it over to the CF drive, but the A12000 still comes up and says DH0 Is not a DOS disk, and when I try to chande the CC0 it says not a DOS disk.

Maybe the CIA is bad, as mentioned? What/where is the CIA?

An easy way to see if you've setup your CF properly is just to boot with it in WINUAE  :-D

If it works ok in WINUAE (eg your CF mounted as the one and only HD and nothing in the floppy drive), then it *should* also work fine when you stick it back into your real Amiga.

A green guide.

I've never installed Classic WB on a real Amiga. I had a devil of a time getting it installed in WinUAE last weekend...

If you have trouble you could always try AmigaSys.

Do you think there is a chance that I might be able to get a 060 in the forseeable future? What accelerators do you have now?

060's are very rare and very rare == very expensive :-(
