Writing ADF to real floppy
Posted: Fri Oct 15, 2021 1:02 pm
Whats up,
I would like to burn floppy disks which Amiga can read from ADF files. I know that normally I cannot burn floppy disks under a PC and the Amiga will read it.
I tried ADTWin. I bought a cable and connected it to the LPT in the computer. I had the LPT port through a PCI controller. I tried on Windows 10 and Windows XP. The program supposedly records, but Amiga does not read. Even XCopy shows the floppy disk is 99% free.
I also tried via the NullModem cable. I bought and got a floppy disk with AmigaExplorer for Amiga. But I don't have Workbench 1.3. I only have the higher version (found in the attic, used to have A600). I have a game that starts a truncated version of Workbench and then I have an icon to start the game. When I run it, I change the floppy, I have AmigaExplorer, but I get an error that it cannot open the port. Can you get around it or do I need the entire Workbench?
