I have had the same problem, but with swapping between a NeXT and a Mac SE/30
with a superdrive. If I go from the Mac to the NeXT, everything works just
fine. The NeXT reads the MS-DOS disk without any complaints. But if I write
a file on that same disk using the NeXT, I can't read it on the Mac. It tells
me that the disk is damaged. What gives?
