Karl,
Yes. You are right. I was inserting a system 7 install disk, and it
didn't like it cos it was only double density (I assume). I have now
obtained the 1.4mb installer disks, and I got as far as installing
the system on a hard disk partition. When it finished I clicked on
the restart button and the system froze. I rebooted the amiga, then
booted amax again. It got as far as the welcome to Macintosh message,
then the power light flickered and I got a software error 8000 0003
and had to reboot again. Same thing on the next try except the
message was 8000 0004. I am now trying to get a minimum system disk
on floppy, but there seems to be a high sensitivity on floppy disk
recognition. It recognised the blank formatted floppy the first time,
but once I started swapping with the install disk it steadfastly
refused to recognise the destination disk any more. (sight) It's
very frustrating, and a great shame that ReadySoft isn't in the
Vendor Forum.
