#BIG transfer
I wonder if any of the PC Exchange / Access PC / Dayna DOS Mounter type
software for the Mac can handle a PC-format SCSI drive. SCSI is certainly
becoming more popular on the PC, especially for high-capacity, high-speed
drives.
I'm trying to solve a similar problem. Right now, I'm assembling a CD-worth of
data on an Amiga. For this first disc, I'll send a Unix 'tar' format 8mm data
tape to a One-Off Shop. Eventually, I'd like to get an in-house one-off
machine, but I'd like the freedom to assemble the data on any of the three
platforms: PC, Mac or Amiga, or even all three at the same time.
One possibility is NFS file server software on the Amiga, and NFS client
software for the Mac and PC. Right now, I'm moving files by hand using TCP/IP
and 'ftp' and 'rcp'.
Another is the tape backup method: DATs and Exabyte 8mm drives handle gigabytes
with ease. I've got 'tar' for the PC and Amiga, but not for the Mac.
