As I understand it, CrossDos SHOULD allow you to read from and write to MS-DOS
disks, if you're using Workbench 2.0 or later. If, indeed, you are using 1.3,
then I guess you are hosed. The only other faint glimmer of hope that I can
think of is the possibility that there is a dialin SLIP server nearby that you
have access to. If so, you can set up and use AmiTCP, and essentially you're
almost as well off as you would be if you had the Ethernet card. There are
probably a few other solutions as well which I am not aware of.
