	Yes, they do both exist at the same time. You can put a disk in drive
DF0: and refer to it as an AmigaDos disk (df0:) or a MS-Dos disk (a:). Popping
out a MS-Dos disk and then inserting an AmigaDos disk is an acceptable and
normal thing to do. I use it a lot to transfer programs from my Amiga to the
IBM pc at work (which is connected to the Sun workstation). This has been the
most painless way to get files from ftp sites & take them home.
