Hi Folks,
I've recently bought an A600 (to make up for selling my previous one all those years ago

), and thought I had the whole Crossdos thing well figured, but have been having some strange problems.
I have a collection of adfs on my PC, which I've LHA'd and transferred onto
floppies. Using crossdos I've copied them onto the Amiga's HDD, but they
always seem to end up corrupt. Have tested them (using LHA on the amiga)
and they're intact on the floppy, but corrupt when I copy them to the HDD.
Obvious solution would just be to extract them directly from the floppy, which is fine unless the LZH file is more than 720k (some adfs dont compress much) and I have to split them, in which case they need transferred onto the HDD in order to join them again.
Thinking this may be a crossdos problem, I tried using MultiDos, same thing.
So, I'm just about at a loss as to what's going on here.
Anyone have any suggestions ?
