Why is it possible for the PC to read MAC disks but not the AMIGA?? I have read
Steve Bradleys messages and replies from Betty Clay, Jochen Antesberger Gerald
Dachs and Lepido Varcas, but i am still not convinced that the pc cannot read
amiga disks or at least should be able to
shaun
cause the amiga uses a 12 bit format fat table which a pc cannot handle for the
life of it.the mac fat is simillar to a pcs and cause apple has released mac
reading software for pcs and other companies had done the same.
shaun,
That's because the PC isn't reading Mac formatted disks. They're reading Dos
formatted disks that were formatted on the Mac with the AppleFile Exchange
program. The Amiga, with CrossDos is quite capable of reading these disks as
well.
