I was using my Amiga at home the other night and found a need to bring a file
from the Amiga side to the PC side.  So I flipped open the booklet, read
the directions, started PCDisk, then performed an AREAD and was told that 
the Amiga had problems opening the file.

I switched to the Amiga window, performed a list on the exact same filename and
the Amiga found it nicely.

Thinking that it might be a problem with the device name, I tried the following
combinations:

AREAD AmigaDOS:myfile myfile
AREAD SYS:myfile myfile
AREAD JH0:myfile myfile

One of the combinations (SYS, I think) caused the PC to hangup.  The Amiga
windows worked fine until I tried something that used the disk, at which point
the Amiga went out to lunch too.

I finally gave up for the night.

So, has anyone ever bumped into this before?  Any hints? 

Thanks

Mike Schultz
