    From Frank Linhares@39:902/502 to All on Sun Feb 14 22:32:07 2010
    Does anyone know of any way to convert adf images to real floppies using a
    PC floppy drive to do the conversion?

    I have some adf's that I really need converted to a physical floppy so I can install the software on my 1200.

    The only way is to transfer the adf file to your Amiga and then write it out with a adf writing/creating program on the Amiga.

    xadmaster can extract adf, another way is to make AFFS and amiga partion table in linux kernel native, and then just the following:

    mount -t affs -o loop file.adf /path/to/mount/point

    enjoy

    why is this still no linux bbs that can be very geek here ?

    I would have thought that you would have known that the pc can't write amiga disk's... The only machine atm that can do it is an Amiga....

    There's also a few gui based ones... Have a look on aminet.

    mount in linux wont ? :)

    lets say one have 1000 adf files on linux, mount each of them in linux so linux fs have them all with full content, now it should be possible from amiga to ftp mount each disk as a disk where the mount on amiga is the floppy disk name

    but i hope some amiga devs one day make envoy work with linux

    I do know that a pc can't write to an Amiga disk silly I just wasn't sure if someone had rigged up some sort of hardware to make it possible.

    i have seen sernet parnet and another nullmodem style software on amiga and a program to the pc side to make a simple null modem cable work

    in adpro there was a file splitter if some graphics file could not be on a single disk to split the file out on multiple disk so the complete file could be assembled again on the other side :)
