Hi, Michael,
I have managed to format Amiga low and high density disks now. I've been able
to read a low density MS-DOS disk in the high density drive, but a high density
one shows up with garbage as file names/dirs. It appears that my
MS-DOS compatibilities are coming from Multi-DOS rather than Cross-DOS.
(I gave up on Consultron a couple of years ago when MultiDOS came along and
CrossDOS was being done for CBM rather than for me.) MultiDOS is not set up to
read/write HiD disks (at least the version I have.)
I will attempt the manual install as you suggest. Thanks for that input.
Regarding ReadySoft, I have called a twice this week asking for information on
how to hook up the floppy drives and have not gotten an answer. I understand
your loss of confidence as I am beginning to question my decision to go with
AMAX IV. The biggest reason I did it was because I didn't want to scrounge
around for 256K Mac ROMs…I already had the 128Ks. Thanks for the detailed
information on Emplant and the customer support. I wish them great success.
Best regards,
Brian
