Amiga Transformer
« on: January 08, 2016, 04:14:50 AM »
I'm working on an Amiga 1020 5.25" floppy drive getting it ready to sell.

I have an original disk of Amiga Transformer that came with it that has become snarky and won't work anymore.

I would really like to get the AT working again even though I know it's dead slow.  I figure AT would be the best way to check the drive out.

Does anyone know where I can get a copy to refresh  my ORIGINAL diskette?

Thanks,

Curtis

Yeah, it'll work as an Amiga PC drive, if I remember correctly.

Capacity is only 360K.  Standard DSDD PC floppy capacity.

Guess it would still be usable for PC task or such.

And the Transformer program was REALLY slow.

Not sure about which Kickstart, but I do seem to remember there was/is a patch on aminet to make it more compatible.

The A1020 drive will work as a regular Amiga drive (although only half the space).  As I recall the Transformer program ran at PC/XT speed with slightly slower I/O access, in monochrome green, and only with KS version 1.1 -- but that has been 30 years ago.
