Hi all i have a load of ADF images i would like to use with my Towered 1200 and would like to know if there is anything similar to daemon tools for mounting the ADF images? It needs to be user friendly and have its own installer (still a bit of a noob with the workbench) if any one knows of such a program i will be very grateful.

TIA Ray

I'm pretty sure Classic Workbench has the facility built in but this only works for DOS disks, non DOS Disks still need to be written back to floppy and booted in the usual way.

Best thing to do if possible is run the games/demo's if available through WHDLoad.

ps (I'll try to find out what the app is and if you can aquire it seperately)

No installer here, but get TransADFGUI and TransADF. Put the GUI part in a directory and TransADF proggy there too, check the tooltypes for GUI that they are ok. Then mount RAD: or just use a floppy in DF0: and use the gui to select it as a target for mounting the ADF-file you want to use.

Well I use this: http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage.m68k-aos

Diskimage device allows the user to mount adf images in addition to some other disk image formats as well. It includes an installer, and if i remember correctly, it will copy all mount files to Devs/DOSDrivers on your boot partition. If this is the case, I will recommend that you move them to Storage/DOSDrivers instead since there is no point in all of them being mounted on startup.

In order to access an adf image file, you must first mount the virtual drive by either double-clicking the IDF0 mount file, or by typing "mount IDF0:" in a shell.

An easy to use program called DiskImageGUI is also included, and after you have started it, you can open it from the Tools menu in your WB menu. This GUI has four buttons which allows you to Insert, Eject or Write Protect the disk image, and the last button refreshes the list below.

If you have mounted IDF0:, it should now be included in the list, and all you have to do is click the Insert button, select an adf file and voila - there you go!

But have in mind that what "fitzsteve" mentions about non DOS disks also applies here.

One last thing: It is possible to copy and delete files to/from the mounted adf image, but this might result in a corrupted adf file, so beware!

Great will give it a whirl

I found this to work best for my needs:

http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/diskimage

When installing it, select the dosdriver that you need (DI2 is the Amiga DD one) and copy it as sys:storage/dosdrivers/DI0. Remember to change the unit to 0 in the tooltypes.

install AISS - Amiga Image Storage System.

AISS is an environment to store, access and maintain toolbar images.

Basically, the images you see in the four buttons in this window is supplied by the AISS system.

I tried AISS once, gawd what a load of rubbish it was, hundreds if not thousands of tiny little images that your HD spends more time trying to access than actually doing anything useful...

best place for AISS was the trash to be honest...

Franko what would you use then?
Or is all your stuff on Floppy and Hard drive and not Adf'ed?
I normally don't worry about mounting them I just use adfblitz to copy them back onto floppy since I would want to keep the disks I unadf.
How are you getting the adf from the PC/Mac to your amiga? there are some PC tools to unpack adf's (can't remember them now but when I get home I will check)

Hmm... not quite sure what you mean...

I haven't used (or even seen) a floppy disk for about 10 years now, All of my stuff is stored on HDs, CDs & DVDs...

Everything including ADFs just get loaded into RAM: as I have 256MB of Fast RAM and most stuff runs from there...

I don't need to get ADFs from the MAC as I have just about everything ever written for the Amiga stored on the above as mentioned...

If I need to transfer something to the MAC from the Amiga or vise versa I just copy it onto an SD Card and transfer it that way, using the SubWAY USB device on the Amiga...

Not sure what you mean about unpacking ADFs on a PC as I've never used a PC...

Basically all I use the Mac for is the internet and downloading/uploading files to my site, everything else I do computerwise is done on the miggies...

sorry I wasn't so clear I meant to ask both of you (including the original poster). I know very well you have Mac..... (my condolences ) JK (just kidding).
the lastest Apple I have is a IIGS although I got a G4 I am pulling apart (yes just for the fun of it.... ) somewhere.
