Hi, Kev - I'm afraid I'm unable to help.  My experience and knowledge of
anything post-BBC-B is nil.  I've sent a copy of this reply to the BBC
micro mailing list, so hopefully somebody there will be able to help.

My initial thought would be to see if there are any programs for the
Arch that can write PC floppies...

again) I downloaded the archie emulator for PC and thought my floppy drive 
would accept the archimedes disks (first stupid mistake) then I set about 
trying to get the ROMs I need from the A3000 but as it is only a 1Mb machine 
and it's PC Emulator is 640Kb I am having some problems with disk compatibility 
in both directions.    Is there a program you know of that will read A3000
floppies in a standard PC 3.5" drive, or do you have any other ideas on how
I might achieve a connection? Please let me know if you have any ideas. I'm
quite puzzled.
