Do you have CrossDOS?  It came with the later revisions of the Amiga
OS.  In the storage drawer on your workbench there is an icon you can
drop into your startup drawer which will enable you to read PC formatted
disks on your Amiga (720KB capacity).

I've searched for this FAQ on Deja News and can't find it.  It's not in
alt.amiga or amiga.general or amiga.software.  I need to do something
similar to what this writer wants to do: I need to read Amiga-formatted
ZIP disks onto a PC.

Michael, if you know the answer to the above, I'd love to know it,
without aggravating anyone.  I've got a lot of Amiga-formatted ZIP disks
and I'd like to be able to read them on my PC.
