- There are several ways of transfering files between
- P(uerile)C(lone)s and Amigas, but as far as I know there is no
- fudge for PCs to read amiga disks therefore you most definitely
- need an Amiga. A new Amiga 1200 comes with a package called cross
- dos which allows read write access to MS dross floppies of the
- 720k variety, you could transfer amiga files via this format.
-
- Another solution is to obtain the package Twin Express, there is
- a fully working 'guiltware' demo available from Aminet at
- ftp.wustl.edu this consists of a terminal program for PC and for
- Amiga that allows file exchange via a 7 wire null modem cable at
- over 115000 baud. Requires any PC and any Amiga. I find this
- program exellent and use it to temporarily back up HDDs from one
- machine to another,
-
- Hope this is some use

- P.S. in return is there some program you know of for reading PCW
- (3.5 CP/M) disks on a PC ?
