I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there any way that a DOS-format floppy can be read by a Mac or a Mac floppy read by a Windows machine. I have a lot of files I need to transfer from my Win XP machine to my OS8 machine, but I need to know if floppies will work or if I need to shell out the money for a couple of Zip drives.
On the OS 8 system make sure you have Foreign File and PC Exchange extensions, and it should read floppies just fine.
ON the PC get MacDrive <http://www.mediafour.com> and it read mac disks.
If you till can't read floppies after that, likely one drive or the other is out of alingnment or not working.
