- Since many newer Macs have the ability to read/write MS-DOS disks, that
- pretty well has become the standard medium of exchange to/from other
- formats. I suspect any efforts to develope cross platform transfer
- have died since the Apple File Exchange and Super Drive (or whatever
- the MS-DOS/Mac capable drives are called). I believe the Amiga had
- a Mac capable program but never heard of one for the CBM 8-bit line.
- I believe it also used a real Mac floppy disk drive.
