If you have 2.1, or later, then you can simply use PC File Exchange as used on the Mac System 7.5 extensions, and simply transfer between systems using either DD floppies (if all you have is a 880k drive), or HD (1.44MB) using an Amiga HD drive (I paid $95 at my local Amiga dealer -- thanks, Dan!) like the Dell for ~$120. Even the last 20 disks from NewTek are in Amiga HD format, so an HD floppy is getting to be more of a requisite item these days IMHO. BTW, I would *highly* recommend that you get the commercial release of Cross MAC, as it adds greater flexibility to your system. God Bless, ILBCNU! -- Dr. Michel J.
