- You could also FTP to the Sparc machine, use mtools on the Sparc to write
- a 3.5" floppy in MS-DOS format, then carry that floppy to a PC that had
- a 3.5" floppy AND a 360K (?) 5.25" floppy drive and use UTIL.EXE on the PC
- to copy the files from the 3.5" floppy-in-MSDOS-format to the 5.25" floppy
- in double-density AtariDOS / MyDOS format... That's a lot of specialized
- pieces, but if you can get 'em all in the same place at the same time,
- data throughput is higher than UUencoding and null-modeming...

- Just my $.02
