to create a floppy
« on: November 03, 2011, 01:55:52 PM »
This is half an hardware issue and half a software question.

Here it is:

Let's say I've got a bare, unexpanded A500.
I want to run a demo (or whatever) on it, which is freely available for downloading, in the usual .mdf or .lha form.

So, I can download it on my pc hard drive, and...?

How can I create a floppy, possibly bootable, to feed to the Amiga 500?

Is WinUAE of any help?


thanks in advance

First of all, thanks for all your replies.

I'll take some time to take a decision... In the meantime, I'm also considering to get a minimig/replay... I think that lots of things like this would be easier with them, and now I fully understand why they have been invented...

I stood still, and I'll be getting an A1200 + online option. Will cost some money, but in the end I think it will solve all the problems...
