Question
Hello as per your answer I did acquire a set of 3.0 boot disks, and a set of 3.0 adf files. I'm still having the same problem, winuae sees the hd and boots from it, the amiga does not. the little adapter has failed, so I can't test the hd for the time being, I still have had no luck with the hd (an 82mb IBM drive from a deceased laptop)

Answer
Hi Robert,

I'm not at all familiar with WinUAE, but I would hope that it hasn't done anything to 'adapt' the hard drive to its mode of emulation such that the Amiga can't see it. If that's not the case, then I'm afraid I don't know what the problem may be. You could try posting your question on comp.sys.amiga.misc or comp.sys.amiga.hardware, as there may well be someone there familiar with WinUAE and its operation:

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.
