I'm interested in transferring graphics and other files from
MacIntosh to IBM-compatible and back again. I'm not concerned
about file translations as most of the files will be in a
common format, although translation capability is a plus.

What are the best options out there? I'm aware of Laplink III
Mac (I use Laplink III on my PC) and Maclink/Plus. Any opinions
on their relative merits? Other options to consider?

Are there any shareware or public domain products I should
consider? I can make my own cables if necessary.

I'd also (gladly) consider any other alternatives. The Mac II
in our lab can't read IBM diskettes directly for some reason.

Thanks.
