A simple question from a new SparcStation 1 user.  Can the
SparcStation read/write either DOS or MAC 3.5" floppy disks?
The SparcStation is not hooked up to the net yet (comm says weeks!!)
and I'd like to move some files from the Mac to the SS1.  If
the SS1 can not read/write, is there a utility for either it or
the MAC that would help?
Thanks for the help.
