[...several good suggestions deleted...]
Another way to go (which I use regularly) is to use MessyDos (MSH:) on the Amiga
to format/read/write 720k disks, and use MTOOLS on the SPARC stations.
MTOOLS is a set of programmes running under Unix which allow SPARCS to
read/write MS-DOS 720k (and 1.44M too I think) disks.
Look for mtools in comp.sources.unix ..... somewhere.... (I can't remember
where I last saw it. - if things get too difficult I might be able to find our
sources on our system here somewhere and send them to you)[you=Ferry]
