Here at SUNY-Binghamton, one of my fellow consultants is currently
working on a program that will take a diskette formatted on a
SparcStation's floppy drive and allow it to be read and unpacked onto an
MS-DOS diskette.  From there, it's easy enough to get the crosover to
AmigaDOS with something like MSH, CrossDOS or DOS2DOS.

Right now we're still beta-testing it (it's pretty finicky about which
disks it will actually read), and error-checking routines are being
incorporated.  It will be shareware once he's finished with it.

I'll see what I can do about getting his permission to post it to
comp.sys.amiga even though it's an MS-DOS program.
