OK, I am using an A500 without a hard drive, but two floppy drives. I am trying to put ADF files on Amiga floppies. The method I've tried is to compress the ADF into an LHA, put the LHA on floppy, transfer the LHA from the PC floppy to an Amiga floppy on the Amiga side, then use LHA to extract the ADF onto another blank Amiga floppy. The problem I've run into is that every ADF file I've tried to extract this way comes out to 901KB, obvioulsy too large for a double density floppy. My question is, is there a method for getting ADF's onto floppies without a hard drive?

Any help would be appreciated!

if u have more as 1 meg ram u can load the adf into ram
then put it on disk

If you don't have a memory expansion, you could do it in a more cumbersome way.
Pack the ADF file with DMS (in UAE). It can be packed into two parts (see DMS helptext). Each of the DMS files stores half of the original floppy's blocks.
You can then copy the two DMS files individually onto floppies and extract them both to an Amiga floppy.
It's time consuming and boring, but it works with a vanilla A500 and 720K floppies.

if u have a seperate floppy drive u can load the adf from there to df0:

I tried that method, but the size of the ADF comes out to 901KB, which is too big for a floppy.

@madsjm:

I have the 512KB expansion card, so I suppose that would give me the necessary amount of RAM. If not, then I'll try the method you described-it may be cumbersome, but at least it'll get the job done!

hi
i tested it for u
i readed a random disk..and put outs 901.120 kb
then i writed it back on a other floppy..
then i tested the floppy and it works

so it should work on your end too?
