- I have about 40 800k Mac floppies, some of which I would like to
- place on my NeXTstation color. I have NeXTStep 3.0 with Appleshare,
- but that only reads the 1.2M floppies. Without borrowing a newer
- Mac with a SuperDrive from somebody, does anyone have any ideas on how
- I could get the data from one side to the other?
-
- I figured I could create a poor-man's network -- serial link -- and
- just talk kermit, or Zmodem, or something like that, but I was hoping
- for a tad more elegant solution. Has anybody ever tried getting
- a NeXT and a Mac to talk together in a "networked" fashion via AppleTalk?
- If I did this, would that allow me to transport files in a manner
- similar to FTP? Am I just on drugs??? :-)
-
- Any ideas would be most appreciated...
- Thanks!
