CrossDOS should be bundled on AmigaOS 3.x

Sometimes the free alternatives do the job, too:
fat95 (http://www.aminet.net/package/disk/misc/fat95)
xfs (http://www.aminet.net/package/disk/misc/xfs)

There are several versions of CrossDos that were written.  There is an early version of CrossDos incorporated in AmigaDos v3+ and a much better version (CrossDos Gold) that was released in the mid 1990s).  I don't know of anyone still selling a copy but you might get lucky with Software Hut, etc...

Copies of CrossDoss still turn up on eBay from time to time.

I'll sell you a copy of Crossdos Gold in the box for say $20.

No, but you can try Marek Szyprowski's ntfs-driver available at aminet (http://aminet.net/search?query=ntfs) and from his homepage (http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~mszyprow/programy/)

CrossDOS does not do NTFS, either.
