OK.  I still have my AMIGA 1000 and if Cross DOS can do this, maybe I should
just keep the machine.  The market for AMIGA 1000's have dropped below there
worth.  My system at todays prices is worth ~$1500.00 and I feel that there
is still more computing power with the AMIGA than the money says.

Where do I get CrossDOS, and how much?
