- The Amiga can read PC disks as can the MAC. That is probably the best way.
- You don't mention much about your machine though. If your Amiga has a HD
- drive then it can read those 1.44Mb PC floppies.

- As far as device drivers go, if you have OS3 then you have a PC device driver
- otherwise you will have to get a device driver elsewhere. I'm sure AmiNet
- will have it somewhere but I'm not sure of what they are called (MessyDOS is
- one I think).
