here's what i did and it's pretty ugly. There is a program for the (dare
I say it ???) amiga called 'transformer' which is the same as PC-ditto.
I have a friend who has an amiga with a 5 1/4" disk attached, so we just
stuck an MSDOS floppy into the 5 1/4" disk and copied it to the 3 1/2"
disk using the transformer. Now what good does this do you ??? well you

cable) and .......
Before you ask, the copy program is an ST utility that can be run under
GEM. Look under the STPROGRAMS folder.
