BridgeBoard hard-file download

komprasz · 27 July 2011, 00:06

Hello,
I am installing a 2286 BridgeBoard in my A2000. I remember that some years ago I created a virtual hard drive on the Amiga HD -a HardFile- and installed MS-DOS (maybe v3 or v5) and Windows (maybe version 3.x). I took me a long time to copy each floppy.
I was wondering whether someone in the forum knows where I can find a HardFile with all the basic DOS programmes, to save me hours needed to do that from floppies. A hardfile that I just quickly download and transfer via CF to the Amiga. I think the limit is 32MB per virtual drive...
Thank you!

If you use the janus 2.1 software and. Another download off of aminet dosserv or to that effect. It allows ou to use a partition of your chosing from hd toolbox. I just set up a 2 gig partion with dos 6.22. I will try dos 7 when I copy the disks over. 32 megs never did it for me as well the hardfile is slower.
