Does anyone out there know if it is possible (or have an algorithm)
to read IBM PC MSDOS diskettes on an Atari 1050 floppy disk drive.
I'm looking for a way to transfer files which come over the NET to
my modemless Atari 800xl at home.

I'm hoping that with sufficient knowledge of the directory structure,
one could use a few BASIC GETs to retrieve the data.  I'm wondering
about the formatting though and what that really means.  Anybody
done this sort of thing?
