  Yes Transformwr will run (boot) from 3.5" or 5.25". I have never tested Turbo
  Pascal so I cant say. Transformer reads, writes, and formats MS-DOS disk(s) -
  not Amiga formated disks. So if you can transfer the software from 5.25" to
  3.5" - then yes it will work. Finally, don't even mess with the original ver-
  sion, just take that disk (original label of course) down to your local Amiga
  dealer for a FREE upgrade to the new version.

  Of course you know that MS-DOS, Transformer, and most other programs are
  copyrighted and that...... Well you get the idea :-)
