Of >course I would like to transfer data between the two machines >dmaster@ihlpm.att.com Sparc systems allows a file system called /pcfs (pc file system). Do the following sequence of commands. Put a DOS formatted 1.44M floppy, you want to read, in the Drive. % mount /pcfs (*see comments below) % cd /pcfs % ls There you go! you have a PC-compatible filesystem. (type % man pcfs :-)) * You should have filesystem pcfs present in /etc/fstab file. If not then ask your system administrator to mount it for you. Mount requires root privelidge. But once mounted you can leave it there, use 'eject -f' to eject the floppy. PCFS is quite inefficient when compared to other access methods. satwant
