>> Terry, PMJI, but by coincidence I just ordered Access PC from Insignia Emulation Software today. I was referred by Syquest after reciting my woes with PC Exchange on system 7.5 Mac's difficulty reading PC formatted Syquests. I am curious to know if you have used Access PC to transfer large files on Syquest drives (or if anybody has…I have a hard time believing I am the first person in the world to try this :)….)<< We used AccessPC to read DOS syquests until we put the MAC on our network. It worked fine for large files. We sometimes had trouble when copying 100+ files at one time. AccessPc would stop and say that there was a disk error on a file. It would skip the file and we would have to go back and copy that file separately. Something to do with buffer overflow, I guess. Otherwise AccessPc was great. >>BTW, I think the other software you were thinking of was MacSEE which is the inverse of Access PC and similar to Mac-in-DOS but allows more reliable Syquest formatting for Mac…I still have occasional Mac machines that refuse to mount a MacSEE formatted disk so I was casting about for an alternative "just in case" solution. I hope I have found it with Access PC. On another subject, the illustration on page 193 of 3D Studio Special Effects book is awesome…do you happen to know whose handiwork it is?
