I have about 40 800k Mac floppies, some of which I would like to place on my NeXTstation color. I have NeXTStep 3.0 with Appleshare, but that only reads the 1.2M floppies. Without borrowing a newer Mac with a SuperDrive from somebody, does anyone have any ideas on how I could get the data from one side to the other? I figured I could create a poor-man's network -- serial link -- and just talk kermit, or Zmodem, or something like that, but I was hoping for a tad more elegant solution. Has anybody ever tried getting a NeXT and a Mac to talk together in a "networked" fashion via AppleTalk? If I did this, would that allow me to transport files in a manner similar to FTP? Am I just on drugs??? :-) Any ideas would be most appreciated... Thanks! -cj -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Cleeland "If your heart ain't in it, cleeland@cs.tulane.edu then get your other part out."

How on earth can I use files saved in rtf format on a dos or mac machine if my Next translates all quotes, apostrophes and foreign accent marks into odd doodads? This makes the Next unusable for me at least for a great bulk of the work I do. Thanks for any advice, L.A. Brooks
