Thanks Ken for the suggestions, The Amiga 500 I have is just that, a stock Amiga 500 with a supra 512K expansion With battery (dead) backed up clock... the battery is a lithium 3 volt single cell battery, And did not leak... In any case, I do not have a hard drive... Will a standard PC drive format a DSDD disk? I may have to format it on my mac as an ms dos disk I have an old mac running system 6.08 I think I should be able to format it there... Just not sure if I will be able to do anything with it...

Hi Walter, Here are a couple of items that may help you. BMD PAL BOOT Disk - for booting your Amiga into PAL mode for the European Games and Demos - Thanks again Ernie! :) ADF2DISK util - allows you to convert ADF files into 880K Amiga Floppies - only thing you need to do is get it onto your Amiga HD first. If you have a 3.5" DSDD floppy disk that is formatted with MSDOS and have access to CROSSDOS on your Amiga then you could just copy the file over that way. Just a couple of suggestions. :)
