THIS DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO RUN PC SOFTWARE ON YOUR AMIGA JUST READ THE DISKS. IF YOU WANT TO RUN SOFTWARE YOU WILL HAVE TO GET A PC EMULATOR SUCH AS PC TASK. IF YOU HAVE A DOUBLE DENSITY DRIVE WHICH ONLY READS 880K THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READ/WRITE HIGH DENSITY DISKS, ONLY 720K ONES.

Drag the PC0 icon from the DOSDrivers drawer in the Storage drawer on your hard drive or your Locale3.0 disk and move it to the DOSDrivers drawer in DEVS on your boot disk. To do all this on a floppy based system from the Shell type:

COPY Locale3.0:DOSDrivers/PC0#? DEVS:DOSDrivers/

Or, if you are using a hard drive type.

COPY SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers/PC0#? DEVS:DOSDrivers/

It will now be active every time you reboot, so you can insert a PC disk and it will show up as an icon on Workbench.

TO ACTIVATE PC0: WITHOUT REBOOTING

After you have installed the PC0 dosdriver you can use it instantly without rebooting. This may be useful if you want to save some work to PC disk that you do not wish to save to your hard drive, or you want to save time (although rebooting is faster).Open a shell (CLI) window and type:

MOUNT PC0:

If you now insert a disk two icons should appear. One with the name of the disk, and the other with the name of the device plus four question marks after it, such as PC0:???? or DF0:????. If this does not happen then type:

DISKCHANGE PC0:

Two icons should definitely appear now. If it does not check that you copied the PC0 file and icon across properly and that you actually have a disk in the drive. If, after all this it still does not show up reboot the machine.
