Erase the disk with the MAC first, then copy the files to the floppy.
Most PC floppy drives have a problem formatting to MAC, but most always
will copy to the disk ok.

Don't open them at All on the PC, put them, and Stuffit, ( version 5.5
works good ) on the MAC and unstuff using the MAC.

Look for files with the .hqx extension, they work the best when
copying to a floppy, using TransMac. What system do you have on your
SE/30? If you have 7.5 or 7.5.3 you should have PC Exchange, it makes it
100% easier, if not you can get the disks from Apples web site, or look
in the FAQ for other places, and upgrade.
