Cross DOS is part of OS 3.1 and your A4000 should be able to read DOS formatted disks. If you have a stock A4000, your floppy drive should read both DS and HD floppys. Try putting the files on a DOS formatted 1.4mb floppy. An Amiga with OS 3.1 or higher and a HD floppy drive should be able to read it.
A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.

Got it, thanks. I copied the files over on my PC then put the disk in the A4000. It's reading it, but VERY slow and all the file names are in the shortened DOS format, so now I have rename all the files.


You can get an Amiga version of Lharc on aminet and just copy the lharced file to the Amiga and unarchive it on the Amiga and this will preserve the file names. LHA is the most common program and there are lots of other Amiga utilities that extact lha and lzh files.
