Not that I know, but when I wanted to send files from my Archimedes to
my Mac, I used a DOS formatted floppy. Also I am not aware of the kind
of Archimedes you have, but aren't the latest models equipped with
ethernet and TCP/IP? With that you can easily build a network.

Aah, light dawns upon my brain: perchance you got rid of your
trustworthy Arch and are left with useless floppy discs? In that case I
have no other solution to offer than to send the discs to a person who
still has his/her Archimedes in operation and ask him/her to convert
them to PC format. Plenty of Archs around in the UK, I should think.

By the way, you also need to know the format of the clip-art, image
files, EPS etc. You have a better chance to find an image converter for
Archimedes files on the Archimedes than on the Mac.

Good luck.
