Sorry I can't help you with the change over, but I do have a question: Why do you need to replace the 1.2 meg drive? The 1.2 meg drives are perfectly capable of reading and writing 360K disks, at least they are on all our clones here at work. I have heard of some 360K drives having problems reading disks formatted to 360k by a 1.2 meg drive; if this is the case you can preformat the disks on your 360k drives on your MSDOS machine and should still be able to write to them on the 1.2 meg drive. Or is there something weird about the 1.2 meg drive that comes with the Amiga? -- John Sparks | D.I.S.K. 24hrs 1200bps.
