The easiest way to get (small) files, like the 3com driver, over to your amiga is to find a floppy disk, format it as 720 kb in windows, copy the driver over to the floppy. Insert the floppy in the amiga and voila you have it.

Open a command prompt and type:
format a: /t:80 /n:9

This works on all versions of MS-DOS and Windows up to and including XP. Haven't tried on Vista though!

Hi Amazing.

What OS and roms are on your 1200?

Until I installed OS3.5, I couldn't read certain CD formats either. The CD was probably burned using Joliet and your OS can't read it.

You don't know how to format a floppy?

if youre in Win Explorer, when you click on A: and from the menu choose format, you can choose either 1.4 or 720k unless your PC has WinXP. Anything below that can format 720k. Better use your Amiga DD disks, don't use HD floppies.

i use workbench 3.0at the moment but i was planning to install os3.5 or 3.9

i know how to format a floppy but not in winxp? to get the right kb
i use a little program now caled FMT it formats it to 720kb
but still not readable on the amiga?
