	I found a Sparc2Amiga package in an European FTP site.

	The author, Jochen Frevert, wrote a TAR utlitity for the Amiga.
the route is
           * standard unix/sparc stuff *
	fdformat -l   (format 720k diskette)
	tar -cvf /dev/rfd0 yourfile  (sparcstation side) (creates yourfile.tar) 

	   * Amiga side *
        (you need MessyDisk.device / TrackDisk.device)
	Disk2file 0 yourfile.tar  (0 = DF0: / 1= DF1: ...) (this will copy
				  the tar file from the disk to the Amiga)
	tar -xvf yourfile.tar


	I am testing it on my A3000. No final words, yet. But sure is good
news. Thanks Jochen!
	I do not recall the site now, I will post it later.
