- If the files you wish to transfer are less than 720K or 1444K, if the
- Amiga has a high density drive, then the CrossDOS utility which comes
- with AmigaDOS 2.1 and higher will permit the Amiga to read the MS-DOS
- formated disks and make transfers a breeze.

- There are other possibilities like using a null modem cable between the
- two machines and using standard file transfer protocols like ZModem
- or Kermit. There are also utilities which permit a network-like connection
- between these two computers via their parallel or serial ports. Since
- I do not have a list of these, you can visit the Aminet site and do a
- keyword search. ( http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/~aminet/ )
