1363.0. "AMIGA and IBM AT/E" by HSK03::HEISKANEN (Pekka K. Heiskanen) Thu Apr 21 1988 17:06

		       -< AMIGA - IBM >-

A friend of mine has AMIGA 500 (no extra floppy drives of any kind).
And he will have the following configaration after some weeks:

	IBM AT/E
	floppy drive 5.25" (IBM) 1.2MB
	floppy drive 5.25" (TEAC) 0.72MB
	DOS 3.3
	WINDOWS 2.0

Now he is wondering how to transfer data(files) between these systems.
There will be some hundred metres between those. AMIGA at home and
AT in the shop.

	Maybe KERMIT,conversion programs to floppies,else?	

Regards,
	Pekka

    the cheapest option might be to get a 720K 3.5" disk drive for his
    AT, and DOS-2-DOS for the Amiga.  DOS-2-DOS advertisements are in
    the back of most amiga magazines, it lets you read/write/format
    ibmpc and atari ST disks.  
    
    That way he can use the A500's internal disk drive to access disks
    from his AT.  Use the A500's RAM: disk to store the files.
