Amiga disk to ADF files

Hi there people.

Recently I saw a couple of threads about people asking how they could transfer ADF files to a real Amiga floppy.

My problem is quite the opposite. I have a small bunch of Amiga floppies to archive before they get unreadable.

I didn't find any software on Aminet who's purpose what explicitely that.

I have ADF2DISK but either I fail to understand its usage syntax properly or it can't do that.

So I seek everyone's help in this matter.

I have an Amiga 3000 with a high density drive.

Thank you all.

ADF-Blitzer is the easiest program I've found to use for converting floppy disks to ADF files :-)




You just click on 'Read' to convert a floppy disk to ADF file OR on 'Write' to unpack an ADF to floppy disk :pint:

If you have a PC and a 'null modem' cable, you can use Cloanto's Amiga Explorer to transfer both ways. Regular files and ADFs.

Looks nice but... where is it?

Hi eslapion , well I use Image2Disk for making amiga floppies from .ADF's, but it works the other way around, as well...
You can get it from Aminet, version I use is 1.1 ..... If you can't get to the Internet on your Amiga, either A4000_Mad (Hi or I could E-Mail it to you... PM me if you're interested....
{Truth in Advertising clause... I haven't used this program to make .ADF's from Amiga disks, just the other way around, but it has worked 100% for me}

my 2 cents...

you forgot to say if its standard DOS format or copyprotected games.
I tried backuping games with various software but none of them worked.

Disk2FDI if you have a PC with 2 floppy drives.

Thank you all guys for your help.

@MickJT:
Can you tell me more about this Disk2FDI ?

I've come across floppy disks that will not convert to ADF but will convert to DMS. Packmaster is a program which has a nice GUI and is easy to use to create both ADF and DMS files.



To get the full use of its many packing/unpacking functions, you need to have the archivers LHA, LHASFX, LZX, ZIP, UNZIP, UNARJ, DMS, TAR and UUARC in the C drawer of your Workbench.

It can also unpack to RAD :pint:
