I am trying to find a program who will allow to read an amiga formatted disk in a PC. Do you know somebody who has done that or has even a start of solution. The other side solution exists with a program named crossdos who allows an amiga to read MSDOS disk but it will not help me. I have already contacted a lot of people and nobody seems to know how to do that. I can not imagine there is not ONE guy in all the PC community who also need that. thanks for your help philippe

" . . . I can not imagine there is not ONE guy in all the PC community who also need that. . ." Yup. Hard to believe, but true. CrossDos will allow you to format and read MS DOS disks on the Amiga. But there is no program in all the MS DOS world to read Amiga disks on an MS DOS machine! You go your way . . . I'll go Maui Rich 😉

Well, I mentioned this to Philippe over in another forum, but my understanding of the situation is not that a PC guy/gal hasn't made the effort or anything, but that that PC hardware (or something like that) is actually incompatible. Can anybody confirm or deny this? I believe I read this in the docs of my copy of crossdos but cannot find the manual at the moment.

Philippe, Perhaps you're unaware that crossdos allows you to _write_ MS-DOS disks as well.
