Someone asked a while back if it is possible to write data from a II to a 
Mac...

If you have a IIGS, the answer is, theoretically, yes.  In order to do 
this, you would need a FST (File System Translator) for Mac OS in your 
/*/system/fsts folder.  This will allow the finder to read mac disks (they 
can read the files, not execute them).  This would allow you to save your 
data on Mac disks, allowing you to transfer them with a Mac file 
translator.  I do not, though, know where I could get a Mac FSTS, although 
I would guess that one exists.  If anyone knows where to get FSTs for Mac, 
or MS-DOS, please tell me where! :-)

If you don't have a IIGS, this cannot work the way I said.
