Well there's several ways, but first what version of Amiga workbench do you have? If you have WB 2.1 or higher, then CrossDos comes natively supplied and all you have to do is click on the PC0 icon that you will find on one of your workbench disks and you will be able to read 720k PC formatted floppies. In order to do this on your PC, you need to cover the second hole on a standard HD floppy (the one without the slider) with tape and then format it. Then copy your files to it and pop it into your Amiga and you're all set. OTOH, if you only have a 1.3 Amiga then unless you still have your original WB 1.3 workbench install floppies you're SOL. If you do have them you should have Amiga Basic on one of them and you're partially in business. You can find out how to do this here, http://amiga.nvg.org/warlock/wartrans/ or http://homepage.uibk.ac.at/homepage/c725/c72578/amiga/adfsenderterminal/methods.html But the only problem I'm not sure of is if PC2Amiga will work on a 1.3 Amiga in the first place. In which case you'll have to transfer the entire .adf or DMS files via as instructed in the above link, or just get MessyDos from Aminet and transfer that, then you'll be able to read 720k PC floppies on your 1.3 Amiga. -- Marcel J.
