- Hi,
-
- To get back to the formatting of floppies:
-
- Can you format 2 floppies at the same time with a PeeCee??
- NO! (unless you have 2 floppy-controllers that is)
- Or maybe format all your devices at the same time? I tried
- 2 floppies, a Syquest and my second Harddrive on my Amiga
- and it actually worked. I still could copy files on my First
- Harddrive quite happily!
-
- I agree this is actually a hardware design fault in the PC,
- but that's what makes the Amiga so great. Even the hardware
- is prepared for a multitasking OS.
-
- Bye,
-
- -Dennis.
