You can NOT convert one type of disk into another.. 400K, 800K, and 1.44mb
disks all use different directory structures… the result is that any file
exceeding the length of what will fit into an allocation block will be
unusable.
You could use MultiOSFileSystem and mount the floppy on the Amiga's Workbench
and copy files to where you need them.
Hi, Jim,

Thanks. I figured there must be some critical piece of knowledge I lacked about
reading disks. I guess I'm surprised that the data does not come into the
floppy port as bytes rather than blocks(?).

This sounds like something VERY worthwhile! What is "MultiOSFileSystem" and
where do I get it? Do I need WB3.1?
TIA,
Brian
