Philip: PC file compatibiltiy is really no problem. Using DOS-2-DOS or Cross-Dos (both commercial, well under $50) or the MSH messydos file system (shareware) you can read and write msdos format disks (but not high density disks). Commodore BridgeBoards that actually put either an XT or AT PC inside your Amiga 2000 or 3000 have dropped substantialy in price… You can get an AT Bridgeboard new for around $450 and used for around $350. I'm selling an XT Bridgeboard for 'the best offer' (see the message in the calssifieds in AmigaUser). For the Amiga 500, there's the ATOnce emulator which runs new for around $350 and I think that Supra has another emulator out for the 500 at around the same cost. I use spreadsheets (Lotus) and wordprocessor docs (Wordperfect saved as ascii) from my PC on my Amiga all the time using nothing more than cross-dos. New Horizons (the publishers of Dos-2-Dos) have a section in the AmigaVendor forum. – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael
