Can I firstly point out that this solution only works on machines manufactured since Escom bought the Amiga. The old Commodore A1200's only has a double density drive that stores half the amount. Escom had to use high density drives as the supply of original Amiga DD drives had ceased manufacture when Commodore died. So, they were forced to use standard PC drives that were jumpered to deliver half the amount of data (don't ask me why). After almost two years, a solution to the problem of how to use them as high-density units has been solved by Dr Ercole Spiteri's HiDensity program device. This adds a device to the Workbench that allows the formatting of Amiga HD disks at full speed. However, at present it cannot read standard PC HD disks.
