You MIGHT want to try unstuffing the .zip file on the Mac. You won't be able to run it, but with some of these (esp. .exe files) I've seen them get "zipped" and it turns out larger than the original .exe file (won't compress much, then gets the .zip information piled on top of it, making the file size larger.) Alternately, you may see a readme, or multiple files in here, that could be transferred via one or two disks. if the zip drive is a scsi device or if it is USB and the PC is running Win98 or later then you should not need the driver, it should just recognise the drive when you plug it in (you may need to re-boot the PC for it to be seen). you will need to format the disks as PC (dos) disks as the PC cannot read Mac disks without 3rd party software. (MacDisk etc). Win98 and USB, I hope - it's the easiest setup, though it will still ask for a driver. IIRC, the SCSI version on a PC was rather a pain. It's been a few years, though - and yes, the exact same drive works perfectly on the mac. (I've had it hooked up to a Q700 and a PMac 7200.) I was going to say "1.43 Mb should just *barely* fit, but I forgot the Mac puts the "resource" file (you'll see it if you have hidden files set to show on the PC) on the floppy, and it will just barely make it *not* fit. :P -Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
