adf2disk
« on: November 21, 2002, 03:09:59 PM »
anyone tried this piece of software out?
I can't get it to work correctly. I issue the command adf2disk program.adf and it says "writing to disk" and finish off with a "disk completed" or something like that, but when I try to access the disk it's either empty or a "not a DOS disk". It is an amiga formatted disk and not a pc one.

and the options to the adf2disk runfile is really weird described, you're supposed to be able to verify the disk but I can't get that to work either.

"try to boot from the disk..."

well, I would but in 9 of 10 cases, the disk ends up totally empty.  :-(  nothing to boot...

Hm, I think I know why it doesn't work now. I only tried it on my newer Amiga 1200 which got that converted PC drive as floppy. (Why, Oh WHY did they do something as stupid as that...) Will try it in my older A1200 and see if it works on that one.
