Ron, What version of the Amiga OS are you using? If you have 2.1 or later, you have a built-in ability to read 720K MSDOS floppies with your Amiga drive. If your OS is older, then your best bet would be to buy CrossDOS (about $20-30) for your Amiga, which lets you do the same thing. Once you have it installed, you can read or write MSDOS disks with the Amiga and can transfer anything between the machines so long as it will fit onto a 720K floppy. From your ID number, you appear to be from England, right? If you belong to ICPUG, you can order public domain software free from the copier assigned to your part of the alphabet. All you have to do is send him a blank disk in a reusable mailer along with a return-address label, postage, and the name of the disk you want copied. If you don't belong to ICPUG – you are missing a lot of great information, software, and fellowship. Great group. —Betty
