     I would be gratefull if someone could tell me if there is
any way which I can transfer files from my PC  (COMPAQ +) onto
the AMIGA. The files which I want to transfer are MS DOS text files,
( documents, source code and so forth) on 5 1/4" floppies.

     I recently purchased the Amiga 5 1/4" disk for this purpose,
which came complete with TRANSFORMER, but I was disappointed to find that
there seemed (to me at least) to be no way of transferring/converting
files from MS-DOS into Amiga DOS.

     Also, what would "sidecar" provide over and above the
transformer / 5 1/4" combination, will I be able to use the 5 1/4" disk
with sidecar, and when will sidecar be available. Is there a review of
sidecar available anywhere?

                         Thanks for your help.
