Sadly 1.3 will not let you show all files and create drawers easily and so you need a good file manager like SID or DOpus. You need essential tools like LHA and you will find it lurking on old disks in the C drawer. Learn how to use the CLI and understand basic C tools that are AmigaDOS. I show on the pages the essential Amiga files you need. CUAmiga, Amiga Computing, Shopper, AUI and start building a library of C tools, Libs, L files and S and System such as DisksCopy, CLI and Format. Get a disk cleaning disk off Ebay for keeping your drive clean. I know many struggle with the conecept of BUYING disks but that is how it use to be. YOU NEED TO BUY disks to start the process. Just buy an old Amiga Computing disk it boots from the disk into its own version of WB and even opens a SHELL or CLI for you and has SID a file manager on. Also pages relating to creating your very own Workbench disks from a jumble of old crap disks. There are pages on creating your very own self booting disk. If you cover the hole you can use but they can fall over.Īnyway below is a jumble of pages from my site showing how to transfer files from a PC to an A500. The HD you refer to I think is the HD on PC disks. Be careful referring to HD cus HD can mean floppy disk that is high density, a floppy drive like the Power Computing XL drive that uses patch to read high density disks or an internal hard drive. There use to be a drop down from the format. sadly XP dropped the 720K format facility. From that point you can source various copies of DOS based applications like MultiDOS and MessyDOS and CrossDOS and start creating disks that can read PC disks.Ī PC needs to be Win98 or Win95. Many cover disks booted into their own version of Workbench and on the disks is all you need to create a self booting floppy. You can create Workbench disks from any assorted number of old floppy disks. You already have the moest important thing you need. The gaming is just something else you do. This is a long post but may prove useful and let you approach the problem from the very good computer that you now own. Forget the PC for now and get up and running with the Amiga.
