- This is not possible. The way I transfer files between AMIGA and SUN is
- by using MS-DOS format disks, which can be read/written on both systems
- Use Cross Dos or Messy-DOS (on FISH disks) on the AMIGA, /pcfs or
- MTOOLS on the Sun. Works fine (and AMIGA-DOS text files are the same
- format as UNIX, which also makes things easier). I always format my
- MS-DOS disks on the AMIGA, since it ensures that they are formatted as
- 720K.
