Well I did it

Do you want to copy ADFs to Amiga floppy?  If so, I'll write it out for the last time and put it on a website so I don't have to do this every few weeks :-D  ;-)

I've written a bit about it here.  If anyone wants to add something, just copy and paste this into your post and change stuff.  Hopefully, we'll end up with a generic guide :-)

This guide was created on Amiga.org as a team effort, and may be distributed and altered without any limitations.

Transferring an ADF file from a PC to a real Amiga disk

To transfer an ADF file to an Amiga-formatted floppy disk is a multi-stage process.  To begin with, you must realise that the PC floppy controller simply can't write or read Amiga disks (Disk2FDI, a cunning hack, can only read).  So the ADF file needs to be transferred to the Amiga.

The easiest way is with cables.  

Alternatively, you can use more disks.  AmigaOS2.x and above can read MS-DOS formatted double density disks, and there is a program called "CrossDOS" for other versions.  So format a disk as double density (720k) on the PC.  It doesn't matter if you only have high density disks - simply put a piece of tape over the hole opposite the write-protect hole.

Now you've got a disk that both systems can read, but the ADF won't fit on it.  One way to solve this is to compress it using a tool that both the Amiga and the PC can understand, such as LHA or Zip.  If that doesn't work for you, you can split the file

Once you have reconstituted the ADF on the Amiga, then you simply need to insert a blank disk and use a tool such as ADF2Disk from Aminet to write the ADF file.
