You can't write Amiga-disks on a PC, without special hardware. Nothing to do about it.
If you have 2 Mb of chip-RAM, and OS 2.1 or higher, then you can do the conversion on the miggy.

You must somehow (welcome to the classic chicken-egg amiga problem) transfer the adf file to the amiga, and then use a utility (cant remember - grab from aminet) to write the image to a floppy disk.
Anyway is the only way

I put the images onto a disk with a program called ADFBlitzer, wich I found on Aminet.
Do not spend your time, searching for those wasted years.

The PC cannot writte to Amiga drive format.
- You have various options. Get the files transfered with a serial connection with a suitable program( look in Aminet).
- If you have a high density floopy drive on the Amiga you can read high density PC formated floppy disks on it. This means you only have to save the file on a floppy with the PC and then read it with the Amiga using CrossDos or another program.

Then resave the file to an Amiga formatted disk using your Amiga.

One cool thing that I never tried is to have ADF files in disk turned into RAD drives.. there should also be some program(s) on Aminet that does that.
