There's a public domain read-only version on various BBSs around the country. You can get that for $5 from Consultron too. The read/write version is $30 in US, $36 in Canada. A $3 shipping charge exists ($8 outside US/Canada), $3 more for COD. Michigan sales tax applies too. (IF in Mich.) The address is Consultron Attn: Leonard Poma 11280 Parkview Plymouth, Michigan 48170 CrossDos does a very nice job of allowing access to MSDOS disks on Amiga; the MSDOS file structure is understood by a filesystem and CrossDos works on 3.5" and 5.25" drives. I have used it on both. You can switch a drive between MSDOS and AmigaDos file formats trivially (just insert a disk formatted for MSDOS and the DIn: alias works; insert an AmigaDos formatted disk and the DFn: alias works). I got my read/write pieces (first shipment) last night. I am however only a customer; I have no other connection with Consultron. They don't have credit card facilities so you need to send check/money order. They DO ship product. Our mail connection is not high bandwidth so please don't ask ME to supply the read/only version to the world; look on BBSs near you or send your money to Consultron. You'll get a very well done bit of work. Glenn Everhart Everhart%Arisia.decnet@crd.ge.com
