Well, I sure am... So here's a little program I came up with that will split up 8 Meg files so they fit on low-density disks. USAGE: If you don't use Workbench 2.1 then you'll need something like Multidos, MSH, or CrossDos so you can read/write 720k MSDOS disks. Format (2) 720k disks and run the program from the CLI. When you see the promt, enter the name of the file you would like to split (i.e. dh0:game.smc). After reading the first half of the file, the program will ask you where you want to put disk1 of the game. Save it to one of the disks you formatted earlier (i.e. IBMA:game.1). Now enter where you want to put disk2 of the game (i.e. IBMA:game.2). When you have the 2 files, you can either play them directly on the Magicom or transfer them to (1) 1.44 Meg disk. To play the game from 2 disks, just load in disk1 and switch to disk2 when the copier asks for it. If you want to put the entire game on one high-density disk then load the program 'SMC-TOOL.SET' or 'STOOL1.BIN' on your Magicom. Use this program to copy both of the game files onto a 1.44 Meg disk. This way you wont have to waste 2 disks per game and save yourself the extra diskswap. **IMPORTANT NOTE** This program will only work if you have the NEW version (V31H) of DOS in your SMC. The easiest thing to do is put the 32k DOS file on the same disk as your game. Just load it before you play the game and it will work fine. You also need a continuous 512k chunk of memory on the Amiga. If you have any suggestions or problems you can contact me on Thunderdome or Terminal Disaster. The next version will have a mouse file requester and built-in conversion of MGD II files.
