- Macs that can read PC Disks can save to a PC Disk, and your Amiga with OS
- 2.x or above comes with CrossDOS (by the same people as make CrossMAC).
- All you have to do is activate the PC0: device to read it in the internal
- drive. If you have a HD Disk Drive or a ZIP, THEN get CrossMAC.
- CrossMAC only reads HD Disks, and I just posted that you can get a
- Mountlist to read Mac Zips, with CrossMAC installed, from AmiNet.
-
- CrossDOS reads DD and HD Disks, by the way.
-
- To activate PC0: double-click on it or put it in your SYS:Devs directory.
- (It came on the Storage Disk with the OS, I am pretty sure.)
-
- Oh, there IS a PD Shell-based Zip write/read (un)protect there too... so
- Squirrel ZIPTools is kinda worthless (and didn't even work on my system).
-
- By the way, CrossMAC works great, and you'll want to set yourself up with
- it. I just registered mine by e-mail.
