Is there a product which will allow a PC to read Amiga floppy disks
(and write them), or to allow the Amiga to read/write PC 3-1/2" disks?
I'll settle for a clear specification of the Amiga disk format.

The Amiga is being operated by a beginner non-programmer, so I can't
expect him to program or even have a compiler. I am willing to write a
program to generate Amiga disks, but would rather buy or download one.

Please don't tell me about the PC disk specs, I can already write PC
disks on the PC, and can't program the Amiga, or even download to it
(that's the object of this excercise).

If possible use my signature rather than the replay address, this is
posted from a news machine, not where I get my mail.
