Steve, I think you misunderstand my problem. I do not have problems booting MS-DOS or reading high density MS-DOS disks. I can do this when booting the amiga with an 880k amiga floppy disk with the appropriate Amiga Janus files on it. My problem is that I can not boot my amiga from a high density floppy, even though it has the exact same files on it as the 880k floppy. The high density drive starts acting funny when it gets to the binddrivers command (which uses the janus.library to boot the BB) in the startup-sequence on the high density floppy. After that point I can't use df0: at all. I'm also afraid I might ruin my replacement high density floppy.
