This week's meeting location has changed

It is now at the previous location. Most of you know where that is just south of Maxwell on N Park Ave. Meetings
starts after 7pm as usual. End time will officially be 9:30pm because of baby. 

Place the numbers one, five, eight, and nine in order listed for the address on N. Park. 

Snacks and drinks will obviously be quite low since they're all in ajb's garage so bring something if you
think you might be peckish o thirsty.

That be all,
Mr O.

Re: This week's meeting location is the same as last weeks!

Alrighty, we are moving back to  the original location. Everybody thank madajb for hosting while we had a
baby and got situated. (applause)

So, the address is in the bottom half of this message. The time is still Thursday from 7pm 'til 9:30pm or so.
The current snack situation is they're all in ajb's garage! So, bring yourself, bring a snack and come one down!

That be all,
Mr O.

floppy disk


 I cannot figure out how to format a floppy disk that is both acceptable
to either XP, or Linux and Amiga.  There are still a few things to get
off of the old Amiga 500, but the floppies need to be formated to at
most 880kb and I cannot figure out how to dumb the format command down
to this level.

Re: floppy disk

I thought the Amiga's used that crazy formatting method that the
Apples were also culpable of?  Oddball sector sizes or some
nonsense...

Re: floppy disk

This is a situation where the Amiga can read DOS floppy's, but not the
other way around.  So you can insert a dos formatted disk into an Amiga
drive, transfer a text file to the disk, and open it on a Windows Machine.

Here is an interesting read on (3.5") floppies that may help
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk#3.C2.BD-inch_floppy_disk>
Another quick google leads me to believe that ...
    720 kb is IBM compatible
    800 kb is Apple
    880 kb is Amiga
... so you may be facing a bit of a challenge doing what you have stated 
(don't take my word for it).

A quick look on my system (Mandriva 2008.0) suggest that it may not 
understand 800 or 880 kb drives ... I have only ever tried MS compatible 
formats, and even that not in a long time.

It might be easier to transfer the files via ftp, or something?

Fred James
