As far as I could google web, I find that:

a) I can attach PCW 3" disk drive to PC
(http://www.fvempel.nl/3pc.html)

b) use cpcread to transfer disks to images
(version 3.24 - any newer?)
[required: DOS computer, without Windows]

c) install Joyce emulator
(http://www.seasip.demon.co.uk/Unix/Joyce/index.html)


Is there any simpler way? E.g. cpcread for Windows :)

Is there possibility to transfer disks via Centronics port attached to
Amstrad? Not files, but disk images - I want to make DSK images for Joyce
emulator from LocoScript boot disks, too.
