3.5" drives in an MS-DOS format? What I want to do is download programs
to my Amiga and save them in a format that can be read by my friend with
the IBM. Then instead of having huge long distance phone bills, he just
needs to buy the stamps to get stuff from the local BBS's where I am.
Just send me any replies, and I'll send whatever I get to anyone who
expresses interest.
Thanx,

It allows you to define one external 3.5" drive as a MS-DOS drive with options like format (720K MS-DOS), copy (w/wildcards), delete, type, directory, ect.... You would have to download the files to AMIGA formated disk(s) then using Dos-2-Dos - format a MS-DOS disk and copy the files from AMIGA disk to the MS-DOS disk.
