Kickstart/WB 1.2 on a stock A500? Getting ADFs to it will be tough, unless you are willing to make an inverstment.

1) Buy a Catweasel MK3 (out of production) for the PC, or wait for Catweasel MK4. With this card you can create Amiga disks on a regular PC.

2)Buy extra memory, extra external floppy drive, crossover cable and CrossDOS for the A500. Then you could very slowly transfer one ADF at a time over nullmodem and unpack it to a real floppy disk.

That is the 2 main ways. There are other unusual ways, but they are quite geekish and not easy.

Incidentally can anyone tell me the difference? The more expensive pci version is obviously popular as the current model 'MK3' is sold out but the ISA version is in stock.


The PCI version has alot more features and better driver support. The PCI card has C= SID chip support, an Amiga keyboard inetrface and a Amiga/C= joystick port. Don't expect the ISA card to work on any OS newer than Win98.

I don't know where your located, but I still have a couple MK3s in stock.
