BGary335,

My experience is that playing around with disks to transfer files between the PC and Amiga is messy. I tried many times to get a PC to format a disk at 720kb, for my Atari 1040STe, which usually resulted in error, or the disk being unreliable. My recommandation to you is to establish a PC > Amiga serial connection (no more than 9600bps) and use an XMODEM or ZMODEM transfer. It works like a charm, and you don't have to worry about byte limitations on the disk.

Not really. Ah, using disks.  :-P Make sure you purchase disks that are 720kb and you're not formatting 1.4 ones down.
