But will I be able to boot from such floppy disks? or I will need a tool like CrossDos to read such floppy disks?
If you format the floppy (DD or HD) on the Amiga as a standard Amiga disk, you can boot from it...
Once formatted, it's an Amiga disk..
(You might need to "install df0:" the disk to make it bootable, depending on what you want to put on it..)
One question for those in the know, does it make a difference if a floppy is a retrofited PC floppy drive and it's a HD floppy?
I know some people have PC drives modded for Amiga use. Those drives have the detector for DD or HD.
In that situation, would someone have to cover the HD hole on the floppy to not trigger the sensor, or is the Amiga going to ignore it anyway, since it doesn't know what to do with it?
Depends on the kickstart???
Just wondering..
