What are the ways to get massive amounts of data from an Amiga to a Mac. 1) put BBS software on the Mac, dial it up and upload files… 2) put Ethernet Boards in both, and just copy to the mac drive from the Amiga drive… 3) ??? 4) ??? Please don't say, "a ton of floppies formatted with CrossDos and th Mac dos disk reader program." Time constraints make that impossible. 1) and 2) both are not possible due to the lack of BBS SW on the Mac ent ENet cards/SW on both machines. I have a SCSI DAT drive, but I have no idea how to get files on there in a format that a Mac could read in, or what software on the Mac would facilitate this. The Mac people have an 88 MB Syquest drive, and about 6 cart's would do it. However, I still don't know how to format the Syq and/or files so that the Mac can copy them to its HD. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as it looks like this operation it going to have to take place several times a year. wmc – via Autopilot!
