I have an IDE internal Amiga Zip drive 100MB connected to my PC win Win 7 32 bit and a SCSI External Zip Drive connected to my Amiga 2000 via SCSI card.

I would like to exchange data from my PC to my Amiga. I have formatted the Zip disk on my PC, but I am not able to mount it on my Amiga.

The reverse mounting an Amiga formatted Zip disk mounted on the PC I assume is not possible from what I have read?

How can I mount the PC format fat 32 floppy on my Amiga 2000?

Thank you.
 
Try copying this to your mountlist: (download fat95 and place it in the L: dir)

ZIP0:
FileSystem = l:fat95
Device = scsi.device
Unit = 5
Flags = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 0
Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
BlockSize = 512
Buffers = 100
BufMemType = 1
BootPri = 0
Stacksize = 4096
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x46415401
#

Then type mount Zip0:

Just to let everybody know after wrestling several hour with the PC to Amiga file transfer, I could not Arnie suggestion to work.

The solution was to use WinUAE and mount the Amiga formatted Zip disk and do the transfer from within WinUAE and the take the disk to the real Amiga 2000.

I hope this helps some people in the similar situation.
