Is there  a 'legal' way to create your own diskettes ?
 
 For my commodore 64 , I download d64 files , and use d64copy to create  disks.

Do you mean 3.5? I thought that was only ever on CD.
The last floppy disk version was 3.1
 
I used to download dms on my a1200 and copy them to floppy. If your amiga is not online then can use crossdos or a fat32 formatted PCMCIA/compact flash card to transfer them. Or you can use a serial cable from your PC to your amiga, but that is slow.

Yep CD Only -

For legal ways you could try contacting Vesalia and Amigakit ?

Otherwise monitor Amibay.com  and/or post in the wanted section.



For Amiga's there's ADF file images..  

You can get a transfer kit from amigakit - http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=440

or get a floppy emulator - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SD-S-HXC-Floppy-Emulator-SLIM-/181328261207?pt=UK_VintageComputing_RL&hash=item2a3801b057

can also x/fer ADF images via NULL modem cable from PC etc..

There is a much cheaper floppy emulator based on the gotek drives.

I'll get the  pcmcia transfer  device from amigakit --- hopefully it won't be blocked by  my CF iDE adapter card .
 
 On my AmigaForever CD, I see   workbench 3.1 under  Z:\Amiga Files\Shared\adf
 
 Thanks,

You can install AmigaOS 3.5 via ISO from CF card by simply mounting the ISO with this:

som99: Can you not just copy the ISO contents to CF card and run the installer from there?  I'm sure I did something similar with OS3.9.

I have a slight memory that mid installation 3.9 complained about no CD are present but I might remember wrong so not sure, also extracting from windows have issues due to filnames etc so best is doing on a Amiga formated CF card from WinUAE I guess, but without doubt is the fastest method to just mount the ISO and be sure you wont get any problems

This method also works for most CD based games, the only CD game I can not get working this way is Exodus the last war.

Edit: BTW if anyone know a way to get Exodus running please give me a PM, I have DVD drive on my A1200 so mounting ISO's are not my only option.
