subject: Amiga Disk reads?

In a message on 06-02-95, Will Morgan said to All:

WM>How hard would it be to write a program for OS/2 (or any PC platform,
WM>I guess) that could read 880K Amiga DOS disks? 

Impossible with any standard PC disk drive.  Sorry.

WM>I figure it has to be
WM>possible, because there was a program for the Amy called DOS2DOS
WM>which could read/write IBM 720K floppies, 

If A implies B and you have B, it does not imply A...  (In other words,
your logic is flawed. :)

WM> I figure OS/2 would be the platform of choice for old Amigans).

It is.  We just made sure we used DOS2DOS (or Messy-DOS) to copy all our
old disks before we ditched Amy.  I hope you still have friends on the
other side of the fence if you've already sold yours.
