- The only Computer that can READ/WRITE Amiga Floppys are AMIGA's!
- On the other had the AMIGA can read/write/format IBM and MAC Floppy formats.
- CrossDOS, and CrossMAC, are examples of that, and I have both myself, but
- there are also other programs to do the same for both formats for the Amiga.
- Insted of being so worryed about having other computers reading/writting Amiga
- disks, because it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! just use there own format.
- Hell you COULD have most of your Amiga stuff on IBM or MAC formated Disks, and
- use then just like before if they were on Amiga formated disks, it makes NO
- differance.
-
- I just see NOOOOOOO need for any other computer system to read/write Amiga
- disks, do you? Let the Amiga handle the work! You know you CAN have a Amiga
- disk 1 once drive and a IBM or MAC disk in the other drive and Quite easy just
- COPY stuff over don't you?
