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.  :)
