[comp.sys.amiga.emulations] Reading/Writing 1581 formatted disks with an Amiga Drive

JBK4@psuvm.psu.edu (03/14/91)

I have posted my question about this before and the popular response has been t
o get one of the many 64 emulator programs.  But what I was really hoping to fi
nd was a program similar to CrossDos that would allow me to Read/Write 1581 for
mats with my A3000 drive.  I may have located a prg for the C= 64 that would le
t me Read/Write Amiga formats with a 1581 but that's not definite yet and since
 my 3000 is here with me and my 64 is not I'd prefer finding a prg for the 3000
 that could do what I want.

Well, how about getting hold of the old "Big Blue Reader" program
for the C-128 (was there a 64 version?) that lets you read and write
MS-DOS floppies on a 1581 drive?  If you were going to try one that
read Amiga floppies on a 1581 and it doesn't turn out to be real,
why not use this instead and use CrossDOS/MSH to read the disks on
the Ami side?
