Hi All,
I did not see this mentionned anywhere in the AOS4.1 package so is there a floppy usage guide for classic ?
What I see is that the floppy drive is supported and the floppy disk I would insert shows up its icon on the WB and I can open it BUT
- this works only if I insert the floppy disk and reboot
- ejecting the disk and inserting another one does not get rid of the previous icon
- inserting a floppy disk once the WB is loaded does not shows up the floppy disk icon
I tried mounter in system folder but it simply ignores the trackdisk.device
so how to load/eject floppy disk then ?

Re: floppy disk usage guide ?
Hi, what system do you have? There are some differences in the floppy drive handling based on what type of Amiga you have - A1200 from C= vs. A1200 from Escom/AT, or A3/4000. There are some questions asked suring the OS4.1 Installation about that.Lio wrote:Hi All,

Re: floppy disk usage guide ?
yes you re right, I have the original A1200 from Commodore so I did not apply the fix during installation (it was automatically chosen anyway AFAIR).

Okay, then the floppy behaviour should be the same as it is on OS 3.9, eg. the floppy Icon should appear - or disappear - if you insert or eject the disk.Lio wrote:yes you re right, I have the original A1200 from Commodore so I did not apply the fix during installation (it was automatically chosen anyway AFAIR).
you can also try the diskchange df0: command from shell.

Re: floppy disk usage guide ?
as I said if I dont insert a disk at boot, no disk icon appears and a diskchange DF0: gave a insert DF0: !
it works ONLY if a disk is inserted at boot and only in this case, the diskchange command is working... I guess I have to live with that !

There is an entry at the end of the file Kicklayout-A1200. You find it in Devs:Kickstarts/
uncomment the Line A1200FloppyFix
that should solve your Problem
