- Which MacOS version and AmigaOS version do you run? I ask because with
- MacOS system 7.5, I believe, began shipping with PC Exchange which allows the
- Mac to write PC formatted floppies. With AmigaOS 2.1, the CrossDOS program was
- included which allows the Amiga to read and write PC formatted floppies. I use
- the same method for transferring stuff between my Mac and Amiga 3000 all the
- time. Usually, I use ADPro to convert from JPEG to IFF before using images on
- the Amiga. It works great. Hope this helps.
