Large Mac files: a question



This is not an executor issue, per se.  But, it's closely enough related  
that I thought I would ask y'all (sorry for the potentially wasted  
bandwidth)

I have a NeXTCube running NS3.2, and an external PLI SuperFloppy (2.8).   
I find that if I write large (larger than 100 or 200K, say), I will be  
unable to read the file, usually, on a Macintosh.

That is, I write a 600K file to the Mac disk (using either HFS_XFER or  
in the NeXTSTEP workspace manager), take it into my Quadra 950 at work,  
I'll then get a 'disk error' error message from the Mac when I try to  
read about the files (this seems to happen about 80% of the time)

Have any of you seen this before?  Is this a standard 'feature' of the  
NeXT machines with Mac files?

Thanks for any comments.

p.s. Yes, it does seem to work fine with smaller files.
