I've been using an Amiga 3000 for my Video Production Business and recently
purchased a used laptop PC-Compatible for Communications purposes via
CompuServe. I've only had the PC for a few days but I have experimented in
down-
loading graphics to a DD disk then using it on the Amiga in a piece of software
called "PC-Task" which runs on the Amiga and operates like a 286. In PC-Task,
there is a command called COPYTOA.EXE which copies the IBM file on the PC DD
disk to the Amiga Formatted disk.
When in the Amiga, I then use one of several conversion utilities to convert
JPEG or
GIF to Amiga graphics formats.
It's a bit cumbersome, but it works. (The images look better than on the
PC!?!)
I'm hoping someone has an easier solution and waiting to hear about it.
