Method One: Purchase Amiga Explorer and get a null-modem cable. Amiga Explorer turns your Amiga into a slave, and you tell it what to do via Windows. With an easy to use GUI, you can copy, rename and move Amiga files from floppy disks as well as hard disks. You can also read and write ADF files on the fly using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Method Two: With Workbench 2.0 and above your Amiga can read PC formatted disks thanks to CrossDOS. Simply copy a zipped ADF-file from your PC harddisk to a 720Kb (not 1.44Mb) PC-formatted floppy disk. The zipped ADF-file may not be any bigger than 720Kb as Amiga drives only can read double-density disks. Insert the disk into your Amiga and use a tool such as TransADF to write the file directly to an Amiga floppy disk. For larger files you may want to look for a split tool so that you can split files over several disks.
