The manual says, MorphOS can't boot from floppies yet. Does this mean that it can't read floppies (yet)? For example, can't I transfer a file from my PC using a FAT formatted floppy to my Peg2?

Hi guvenck

Nope you can't use the floppy connected to the motherboard in mos. You can use an usb floppy, but you need fat95 handler to read fat format disks.
You can read the built in floppy in Linux, But the port for the Peg2 is not finshed yet.

But You can use floppies connected to an IDE inteface (for example LS120-Drives), which are much cheaper that USB-floppies... They should work under both MorphOS and Linux.
