- It seem to work with Apple's PC Exchange pretty well -- I haven't seen it
- used in conjunction with Access PC or DOS Mounter, though. Choosing "Erase
- Disk" from the Special menu in the Finder even lets you choose what file
- system to put on the newly erased disk, a feature I had previously thought
- was more or less unique to GS/OS.

- It depends; if you're in a more or less permanent installation, the neatest
- solution is to set up personal file sharing on the Mac and grab the files
- via a small AppleTalk network. Barring that, I'd just copy the files
- onto Mac HFS disks and hand carry them over to the Apple II. (Oops; I assumed
- that you were talking about a IIGS when you said Apple II. If you need
- to move files to a different II, particularly one without a 3.5" drive, things
- get more complicated).
