I'm trying to fix a pair of Amiga 500 Computers I have on the shelf here. I have a set of Workbench disks, but neither unit will boot from them.
I want to rule out the chance that the disks are bad. So, I need a set of good copies of Workbench 1.3.
I own Amiga Forever Pro Edition, so I own a license to Workbench 1.3 and all the others up to 3.1. But, I have no way to transfer the .ADF files to actual Amiga disks without a Kryoflux, or a working 500 with two drives to use Amiga Explorer (plus, I have to track down a null modem cable) which comes with Amiga Forever.
I'll pay costs of media and postage and something reasonable for your time. But, I can buy new disks from a Cloanto reseller for $25.00US. I'm hoping not to sink any more money into these computers until they are working (other than repair parts).
I just bought an A520 so I can test them on my big screen using Composite, I ordered a special floppy cable to use a PC drive on the Amiga. And, I'm looking for the cable that lets you use an Amiga external drive on a PC Parallel port to write out ADF files. Like my XF1541 adapter.
Thanks!
