ACK! DO NOT CONNECT THE 5.25" DRIVES TO A MAC! You're lucky you haven't fried your floppy controller already! You'll have to transfer these files over 3.5" disks in the IIci. Use GS/OS or a program like Copy II+ on the GS to copy the files from the 5.25" disks onto a ProDOS 3.5" disk, and with Apple File Exchange or PC Exchange, these should be directly readable in the Mac. Don't use DOS 3.3 disks for this. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- In youth we learn; in age we understand. -- Von Ebner-Eschenbach ----------- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
