- I've just got Shapeshifter working on my A3000, but I cannot get beyond using the SSBootFile to start - I can't
- load the MacOS. I have the lower density floppy drive (880k?). My questions are:
-
- 1. Can I use a 1.44M floppy from a PC with my A3000?
- 2. If not, where can someone pick up the higher density Amiga floppy drive? For about how much?
- 3. If I understand correctly, this higher density drive would be able to read the newer Mac floppies (1.4M?), but
- not the older 800K floppies?
-
- Thanks in advance for the help.
