Macs that can read PC Disks can save to a PC Disk, and your Amiga with OS 
2.x or above comes with CrossDOS (by the same people as make CrossMAC).  
All you have to do is activate the PC0: device to read it in the internal 
drive.  If you have a HD Disk Drive or a ZIP, THEN get CrossMAC.  
CrossMAC only reads HD Disks, and I just posted that you can get a 
Mountlist to read Mac Zips, with CrossMAC installed, from AmiNet.

CrossDOS reads DD and HD Disks, by the way.

To activate PC0: double-click on it or put it in your SYS:Devs directory.
(It came on the Storage Disk with the OS, I am pretty sure.)

Oh, there IS a PD Shell-based Zip write/read (un)protect there too... so 
Squirrel ZIPTools is kinda worthless (and didn't even work on my system).

By the way, CrossMAC works great, and you'll want to set yourself up with 
it.  I just registered mine by e-mail.
