English Amiga Board - View Single Post - Can Amiga Explorer work without a WB disk?

Starglider 2 · 21 March 2014, 20:27

Hi, I have Amiga Explorer, my basic A500, a working null modem cable... but no Workbench 1.3 disk. I do have just one bootable floppy disk, which gets me to Workbench, but doesn't include the Shell or CLI program. This means I'm unable to enter the commands that Amiga Explorer requires.

I'm in a time crunch to do with leaving the country, and the WB disks I ordered on eBay have been delayed by the seller.

Q: Is there any other way to get Amiga Explorer working? My end goal is to convert some Amiga floppy disks to ADF files for use with an emulator.
