Having searched the web and these forums i'm not sure it's possible but does anyone know if I can download roms on my PC and get them working on my actual a600. cheers for your help.

By roms i guess you mean games? Then yes, you can download some files amiga disk files with extension .adf and these can then be copied over to your amiga and be used to make a real floppy out of these images.
What kind of workbench do you have on your a600? You can read standard 720k dos formatted floppies on your amiga if you have WB 2.1 or higher. You have to use a null modem cable if you have wb 2.05 or below.

Here are some adf games released legally for free with the permission of the orginal game publisher/dev: http://amiga.emucamp.com/g_dl_a.htm

Here is another site with all amiga released team17 games: http://www.dream17.co.uk/

Thanks Countzero this seems like what I'm after. I've formatted my floppy disk and i've downloaded adf2disk.lha from aminet. What do you mean when you say 'get lha'? Is this a windows program for compressing? If I search aminet for lha i just get lots of files with extension .lha. Or do I need a .lha file for each .adf file? Sorry about this but I really don't know what i'm talking about! Thanks again for all your help guys.

lha is basically the zip/rar format of the amiga world..
I believe winrar and winace supports lha as well.
