Bruce, I use to diffrent methods to transfer TGAs to the Mac; 1) Via a 90MByte Bernoulli drive (this method should work for Syquest drives as well. The key is to use "DOS mounter". This is a Mac extension that allows you to just insert PC floppies or other removable media into a Mac drive and have them come up on the desktop just like Mac media. We have used it for a long time and have found that it is very reliable. I'm not at the office now so I don't have a phone number/address for you but it is widely available and quite inexpensive. 2) We use Farrallon's Timbuktu for Window's. This product includes a LocalTalk card for the PC and it allows you to mount any Mac drive or folder that has been "shared" under System 7.x as another drive on your PC. Quite a clever product really but a more expensive solution to your problem if all you want to do is transfer files. We bought it mostly for the ability to share output devices on the LocalTalk network with PCs. Hope this helps, David Popoff
