- "can I run 3.0 off floppy?
- Guess what I'n √running my 1200 off. However -- the 3.0 Amiga Operating
- System floppy diskette is in a format which a 1.3 machine cannot read.
- Before I hooked up my old 1010 to the 1200 so that I could write with the
- machine (the internal drive grundging any diskette it attempted to write
- to......), I tried to use the 500 to copy the new disk - and the 500 didn't
- recognize the disk as being an Amiga dik. 3.0 can format diskettes in
- several different ways: the OFS old file system used by 1.3, the NFS new
- file system used by 2.0 and 2.1, a cached disk format recognized only by
- system 3 machines, and an international format which I'd have to look up in
- the Workbench manual (I want an AmigaDOS manual! Why oh why did Commodore
- make the inane decision to NOT include an AmigaDOS manual, ARexx manual,
- and hard drive install support with ALL 1200s! It's an example of the sort
- of thing that inspires people to buy their computers from some other
- company.....) as to whether it works only with operating system 3 machines,
- or with machines running version 3.x as well.
