Default Re: (OT) transfering non-standard amiga disks.
Read the disk into the RAM disk, then write it out using the PC0 drive to a PC formated disk. It will then work on a PC. Make sure you use a floppy with only one "Hole" if you only have a low density drive. A low density Amiga drive will write to high density disk in the wrong format. Tape up the other (high density) hole for a quick cheap conVersion.

Exe files that work on the Amiga will not work on a PC, but data text files should. Make sure the file names are correct, the PC0 will only write 8.3 file names.
