Of >course I would like to transfer data between the two machines This is pretty straight forward in SPARCstations. There is provided a PC-compatible File System (/pcfs), which reads and writes on floppy in same format as an IBM PC. Of course, file name conventions and access right incompatibilities creat some trouble. (% man pcfs will help) Do the following sequence of commands. 1. Put a DOS formatted floppy in the drive. 2. % mount /pcfs (you have to be the root) 3. % cd /pcfs There you go! You can eject the floppy by % eject -f File system needs to be mounted only once. satwant.
