now since i recently aquired another a2000
iīve been trying to use my a2091 controller i couldnīt use on my first (it died before)
i took an old external hard drive from my old mac and put it on it
iīve been trying to partition the drive but then i discovered that my old workbench disks are more and less dead
i had the hdtoolbox that found the hd but complained about missing files and then it died shortly later (i forgot about saddam and his friends theyīre all over my old disks and disabled the write protect)
i did get newer disks with the a2000 but no hdtoolbox so anyone of you know about a good hd program ?

then itīs the transferring thing
now i donīt have crossdos but i do have something on an amiga disk called easytransfer but not on the pc
(iīve been trying to find it )
the closest thing iīve had to success with transferring was that warlockīs amiga basic project but i never got it to work completely (i got empty files with the correct names) have you tried it ? does it work ?


well thatīs all folks for now

I never had an A2000, sorry.

I'll investigate about Easytransfer though.

i should have thought of this earlier

i just installed a second floppy drive in my computer
and ran disk2fdi
it worked perfectly
i got it
now the only thing preventing me it that 80000003-80000004 error i mentioned in the hardware section
iīm getting this on all of my workbench disks thatīll boot :sad
and on both kickroms (iīve got a switch)
i still suspect the hardware to ba at fault

well back to work
