I've still not seen a PC floppy that can handle AmigaDOS format 
disks. However all Amiga floppy drives can read 720K PC/MSDOS
formatted disks. With later versions of WB this comes as standard,
you'll need to get a copy of either the commercial CrossDOS, or
one of the PD "messydos" programs.

If you don't have Internet access from your Amiga currently it
may be a little tricky to get it onto your Amiga in the first
place (if so shout up and we can go into the various methods
of getting that done :)

The other possible problem is that many archives are > 720K,
to solve this you need a program that can split the archives
up on the PC and then join them together again on the Amiga.

It's all available on Aminet.

PS wuarchive is still down, but the mirrors are available.
