[comp.sys.amiga.emulations] Sparc 1+ 3.5'' floppy to AmigaDos?

jld8755@helios.TAMU.EDU (Jonathan Davis) (01/18/91)

  Does anyone know of a program to allow transfers to/from a Sun Sparcstation
1+ format floppy?

  Please reply via mail; I'll summarize to the net if I get any response.

Use 720K 3,5" MS-DOS format disks.

On Sparc use the PD toolkit "mtools" (mcopy, mdir aso.). This program is
much better, faster (and cheaper) than Sun's own MS-DOS emulation disk
handling.

On Amiga, use one of several programs:
DOS-2-DOS (commercial)
Crossdos  (shareware)
MSH       (PD, on Fish disk, probably the best)
