Robin,
You can do this in several ways. I would suggest that you invest in a
commercial program called CrossDOS from Consultron. You should find it at
any Amiga dealer – local or mail order – for well under $30. It will let
you use your Amiga drives for either Amiga or for MS-DOS, just by using the
correct name for the drive according to the system you want it to read or
write. It is very dependable and almost invisible once you have it
installed. I don't know what I'd do without it!
There is a similar program here for downloading, in Library 11 of
AmigaTech:
MSDOS1.LZH 11 49K 07-17-90 V.1.3 of MSDOS, read/write MS-DOS disks in
AMy
Many people find this to work well, but I personally prefer CrossDOS and
have found it more dependable – and it costs so little, too!
Anyway, once you have one of these installed, you can put your 3 1/2"
MS-DOS into your Amiga drive and read your program into the Amiga or copy
it to a disk that works under AmigaDOS. Then you would use it just as
though you had downloaded to your Amiga in the first place.
