I have a large number of files residing on a SPARCstation I, which I would
like to transfer to my Amiga 1000. I note with interest that both of
these machines have 3.5" floppy disk drives, and, although I realize that
just having drives for the same size diskettes is far from complete
compatibility, I've seen enough miracles performed to ask:
Is there any utility, PD or otherwise, for either the Amiga or the SPARC-
station, which will allow either of them to read/write the other's disk
format? This would save me a tremendous amount of time compared with my
only current alternative, 2400-baud Kermit...
Please reply via e-mail even if you also post, as I am unable to keep up
with the volume of these newsgroups (comp.sys.sun and comp.sys.amiga);
thanks in advance for any replies!
[[Ed's Note: Although there probably does not exist a Sparc->Amiga format
program, you could probably use MTOOLS to write your Sparc files out to
disk in MS-DOS format and then use some other Amiga tool to read the
MS-DOS files on your Amiga. -bdg]]
