        OK, I'm no hardware expert but is it possible to use 1.44MB disk
drives on the Amiga (500).

        I can get a drive off a company very cheaply and would like to be
able to use the larger capacity disks.

        I can use assembler and C but have not yet got to grips with the
Amiga OS, so if anyone knows of if and where I could get hold of the software
to format/use these disks or have any suggestions to the programming side
 I would be most grateful if you could send me some info.

        E-mail replies preferred, thanks.
