Hello,
Workbench 2.04/2.05 does not have Crossdos! V2.1 and above does.
Goto Aminet (
www.aminet.net) and download Messydos;
msh-156.lha misc/emu 271K 380 Messydos File System 1.56 - read/write pc floppies
The trick part now is getting the file from your PC to your Amiga. You need a serial Null Modem cable to do this.
Here is the procuedure.
1)On the PC load Hyperterminal, set the Baud rate to 19200 BPS, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and RTS/CTS handshaking.
2) On the Amiga Open a shell
3) Open the Preferences folder and click the serial preferences. Set the preferences to:
Baud Rate: 19200
Input Buffer Size: 4096
Handshaking: RTS/CTS
Parity: None
Bits/Char: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Save the settings.
4) In the Shell window enter
Type SER: to Ram:Messy.lha
You actually have to type Type!
5) In Windows Hyperterminal Select Transfer->Send Text File
Select the Messydos archive and click OK.
That should do it.
When the transfer finishes you need to CTRL-C the shell command (on the Amiga).
It has been a while since I did this last.
Hope this helps.
Ian
