I've got the opportunity to pick up a used XT bridgeboard from a friend who never uses his. My problem is that I've got a 3000, so I can't use the 5.25"
floppy drive that came with it. The BBoard is plugged in right now but not
doing anything. Anybody know how I might go about getting it running?
I've heard of something called Bridge Drive Commander which lets you use
Amiga drives as PC drives. Could I use this to set up df0: as drive A:?
(Without interfering with its function as df0:, that is.)
One thought I've had is that, once I get the 5.25" copy of DOS moved to
3.5 so I can read it in with CrossDOS, format my 1.3 partition as a DOS one,
and boot the bridgeboard from there, keeping everything else on floppies till
I get a bigger hard drive. Also, if I get an external PC floppy, would there
be any way to make it drive A:, or at least drive B: without an A:?
Any advice would be appreciated.
One more thing... my friend still has the 5.25" drive in his 2000. How can
it be connected to run as an Amiga drive? I couldn't spot any place to connect
it (unless there's something under the power supply & drive assembly). He's
got 2 3.5's, so both of those connectors were in use. Is it just a matter of
getting a floppy cable with 3 connectors instead of just 2?
Thanks.
