...futile attempts deleted.....

here's what i did and it's pretty ugly. There is a program for the (dare
I say it ???) amiga called 'transformer' which is the same as PC-ditto.
I have a friend who has an amiga with a 5 1/4" disk attached, so we just
stuck an MSDOS floppy into the 5 1/4" disk and copied it to the 3 1/2"
disk using the transformer. Now what good does this do you ??? well you
can attach a 5 1/4" disk to your atari (it takes 1 buffer chip and some
cable) and .......


Before you ask, the copy program is an ST utility that can be run under
GEM. Look under the STPROGRAMS folder.
