Put your CF card into a PC card reader, copy the ADF files onto it and then plug the card into your Amiga PCMCIA adapter.

Do i need USB?

Is this a problem? Modern PCs have enough USB ports, get a card reader for a few bucks.

Its a problem as my PC is ancient, P266...no USB. WinUAE too slow, which prompted me to go back to the real hardware. I suppose I could just wait until I get a decent PC or laptop and forget about putting adfs back onto real floppies again. Would like to know if the accelerator worked though so I could possibly trade it for something.

Any ideas on the 'best' OS and WinUAE version for compatibility and wich OS to avoid?

Sorry we talk for HarDisk installation ! you cant on your WB disk floppy!
Your A1200 has not HD?
and also the P266 PC with out USB is another problem.. you can found PCI-USB card for PC ,but dunno if works fine in your PC..

No the Amiga HD seems to have died. My PC is ancient, though it runs DosFellow. I know you can get a PCI-USB card for it but I don't think it will be worth the effort in the long run if I get a new PC. I'm really only still using the old PC for music creation purposes, DOS based tracking software which I got into through the amiga. I guess I could still use those old programs on a new PC with DOSbox or something but I've heard its not that easy.

I thought you could use EasyADF with a workbench floppy?

No you cant, first at all..the drivers CF must be installation somewhere ..and no on floppy WB disk for sure..

As above you will need a hard disk to install easy adf and copy files back to amiga floppy's

You will also need a way to get the ADF's onto the CF card unless you were to copy the adf files onto the hard drive with it plugged in to a PC.

I have the easy adf from amigakit and its superb, would highly reccommend it but you will need a way to get the ADF's onto the Amiga to use it.

You can just buy the easy adf software on its own, which is what I done since I already owned a pcmcia card reader.

And what you'll need too is a CF compatible with the PCMCIA adaptor from Amigakit....what i actually need

You can use the EasyADF PCMCIA Transfer Kit *without* a hard disk. It is a stand-alone boot disk as well as hard disk installable. The Video tutorial was done without hard disk.
