I got a copy of PcPatch II recently.  I tried using it this morning but
with no luck.  I've got a Tandy 4000 LX on one end and a 1-floppy AMIGA 2500
on the other.  I am attempting to read and write 3 1/2" floppies
made on the Tandy on my Amiga.

When I try to use PcF720, I get a mysterious "!Error -4!".

When I try to use PcC720 to write to a pre-formatted 3.5" floppy I get
"!PC Root Directory is full! ".

When I try to use PcC720 to read from a pre-formatted 3.5" floppy I get
"!PC File not found!".

In both the read and write cases the DF0: box in front of the filename
is halftoned - does this indicate it is not being selected properly?

I'm running AmigaDOS 1.3.  Do I need a 2-floppy machine or must I be
running on a 2000?

Thanks for any advice,
