Dear Netlanders,,
I would like to read/write 1.44MB Mac formatted floppies on a Sparc. In principle this 
should be posible since these floppies have constant sectors per track (18 on 80).

The only tool that I now of to read non-native floppies is mtools: this allows you to
read and format DOS floppies---one step away from what I want.

Questions:
-- does there exist such a tool?
-- does anybody have (or can point me to) info on the Mac HFS directory strucure and on
   how to format floppies?
   Best would be of course actual (C) code or a config.h file (:-)

Thanks
