Question
Floppy wont read disks. Says disc in the drive is not a DOS disc.
Thanks in advance!

Answer
Hi Serena,

Providing that the discs you're trying to read aren't game discs (which typically aren't bootable into Workbench), you may need a new floppy disk drive. I would suggest trying either Software Hut (www.softhut.com), AmigaKit (www.amigakit.com), or eBay.com--one of them should have an extra floppy drive in stock.

I hope this helps,

I certainly don't know everything about the Amiga, but having been a user of several different models for about fifteen years, I'm willing to share what I know.
