The reason for this is that Apple uses a HARD SECTORED "maverick" format unlike every other system out there which uses SOFT sectoring (which is what makes programs like MediaMaster and Uniform possible). However, there is a way to get those text files over to the Kaypro, and it actually makes more sense in your situation. What you need is a modem and communications software on both machines: then file transfer will be as easy as a phone call (well, almost) If you don't already have the software, the public domain program MODEM7 is available for both the Kaypro and the Apple (you can get them through your local user groups)
