- Had the same problem long ago and far away. The trick is to get a program
- called multidos for you Amiga which can be found on the aminet. Once this
- program is installed, your Amiga can read PC disks (DD, or HD). Then you
- need PC Exchange for the Mac. Now both of them can read PC Disks. Copy
- your files from the Amiga to a PC disk, and wala. The Mac can now read
- them. PC Exchange must be placed in the control panels folder of you MAc
- to work. If you have a low density drive, you must format only DD disks
- as PC disks on you Amiga. HD disks formatted as 720k PC disks will not
- work.
-
- I use these methods to download .lha files from Aminet to my mac, and then
- I transfer them via PC disk to my Amiga, until the Amiga can do this by
- itself. Good luck.
