If I recall, my old A600 had crossdoss included on the os2.x disks, though I might have had 2.1 instead of 2.0. If you find a cd0 file in the storage/dosdrivers (should be on the storage: disk in the OS install disks), you can drag that into devs:dosdrivers, reset and then read 720K PC floppies. (Or just double click the pc0 icon to use it until your next reset) The only prob with that is finding double density disks that will work. If you can't find them, simply put scotch tape over the hole on the upper left hand side of the floppy (not the write protect tab, but the one without the plastic slider). While not terribly reliable in the long run, it should hold data temporarily until you transfer it to/from your Amiga. Also, the os2.x version of crossdos doesn't support windows filenames, so you're limited to the old DOS 7.3 length filenames. There's a bunch of scripts and rather elaborate ways to correct this, but the easiest thing to do (in my opinion) is lha or zip the whole directory on window, and unpack it onto the Amiga's HD. (there should be an lha executable on aminet, along with unzip) Also, in case the last guy was right about not having crossdos on 2.0, and you go the null-cable route, Aexplorer is a nice and convienient way to transfer files between windows and Amiga, and does work over a null-modem. I've also used
Twin to do the same, and it has some convenient batch features that can be handy if you're not too afraid of a shell/dos prompt. A regular terminal proggy (Hyperterm on windows, TERM on aminet) can also work with zmodem, xmodem, etc... If you go with PCMCIA, I believe the Amiga 600 and 1200 are limited to a 4mb capacity on the slot, so anything bigger won't work. (I could be wrong on this, I use a 3com etherlink network adapter on mine, and don't play with pcmcia memory too much) I think you just have to run the prepcard application and somehow mount the card as a device. (I believe you can use it as fast memory, but the "fast" part of that is kinda misleading.. slow as hell from what I've heard) Hopefully my rambling has helped a bit.
