This program allows the user to format, read and write to ProDos, MAC and MS-Dos disk, with the sizes 400K,720K,800K,1.4M Now I was using this program to transfer data on a 720K MSDOS disk to my Amiga 500 with one drive + TRUMPCARD. I use PCPATCH for msdos on my Amiga. The problem now is that the MACINTOSH does not read disks formatted on the amiga, and that it cannot read files from a MAC-formatted msdos disk, that were written by my amiga. It is however possible to format and write on the Macintosh, and than read everything on the amiga. Has anyone ever used APPLE FILE EXCHANGE? Am I doing something wrong? Why does it only work one way ? MAC->AMIGA Do I need a different program on my amiga? Does DOS2DOS work? CROSSDO S? MessyDOS? Any answers are welcome. Nils Gokemeijer (NJ_GOKEMEIJE@FANDM.bitnet)
