Philippe, I'm not aware of any such program for the PeeCee. It would be a major "hack" if it's at all possible, because the PC disk controller is sector oriented, while the Amiga disk format contains a single physical sector per track, divided by the software driver into 11 logical sectors. I don't think the PC hardware is able to read a single sector of this size from a floppy disk. Hope this helps…. …BobR

Philippe, To the best of my knowledge, no such program exists for MS-DOS. Don
