How do I use my PC to create adf's?

**burns flipper** · 24th February 2008, 08:56

I have boxes and boxes of PD in the loft, and I've decided to start converting to adf so they can go somewhere - the Software Directory maybe? I've got games, utils, disk mags, loads of stuff.

As my Amiga's are boxed and in the loft, and I think I fried my Catweasel last time I booted up my A1200T, what are my options? I have at my disposal: a PC with 2 floppy drives. I will consider buying extra hardware depending on price.

Regular PC drives can't read Amiga disks on their own. The Catweasel would be your only option (I think) to use your PC, else you're gonna need an Amiga, and someway to get files between the Amiga and PC.

I personally would use my 1200 to create adf's with Transadf and transadfgui and transfer them to my PC via ZIP drive.

I either use ADFBlitzer on the A1200, and then transfer the files, or Amiga Explorer (part of the Amiga Forever package) to link the Amiga to the PC via null modem cable and do direct disk to ADF conversions. Take a look in the private Downloads forum for some useful files.

I'm not getting an Amiga out just to rip disks. Did the Catweasel mk4 ever get made? Where on earth do I get one?

It got made, vesalia.de push them. Says they're out of stock however, and estimate more will be available sometime in april.

You could try getting in touch with either Amigakit or Individual Computers. To see if there is any in stock or if they can get hold of any. but i don't hold up much hope i'm afraid.
