No can do!  Stop your seaching, it is impossible to read an amiga formatted
disk on a PC..  Of course an Amiga can read an msdos formatted disk (720k only)

Sorry for the bad news...

The only idea that I can come up with is to find a friend with an Amiga and
use a modem to download the files to your PC.  This should work.  I've used
Amiga bbs's to get voice files and mod's

An Amiga can read 1.44 and 1.2 formatted disks if you have a HD 3 1/2 or 
HD 1/4 drive. If you can get access to an Amiga check out CrossDos (tm) 
it works wonders i use it all the time.

Sorry Dan, but it IS possible to read Amiga format disks on the PC. Some
time ago someone wrote a shareware program to run Amiga text-only graphics
on the PC. It was able to read Amiga disks. I've never done it myself, but
on the other hand, I stuck DOS type disk drives in my Amiga, and they
worked fine, so the drives themselves are compatible (unlike MAC-PC, 
which requires additional hardware on the part of the PC). Unfortunatelyu
I no longer have this software, nor do I remember the name of it.

Okie, I got so many replies from you guys that sending thanks via email (even
with copied letters) would have taken hours... it seems that I will have to
find a suitable victim (one of my friends who has an Amiga) and visit him...

And many thanks for your bothering help me!
(You know who you are, as they say)

Sorry, but it is NOT possible (without additional hardware)...

Sama rauta niiss{ on *periaatteessa*, joten kaiken pit{isi olla mahdollista

  Sorry Bill, but it is NOT possible to read Amiga format disks on the PC. 
While it is possible to read MS-DOS disks on the Amiga, it is only because
it is relativily easy to re-program the disk controller on the Amiga to do
so.  It is not so on the PC, because the controlling hardware different.

  On the Amiga, the hardware controller can read in an entire track in one
revolution, so it can do away with most of the sync-ing and sector
information that needs to exist on the disk for a PC diskdrive to work.  Why
do you think that the Amiga disks can hold 880K+ worth of data while a
regular PC disk can only hold 720K? (for a total difference of 160K in favor
of the Amiga).

  Also, the Amiga doesn't have a text mode, while the PC does.  Maybe you
wrote a program to run PC text-only graphics on the Amiga 8-)
