Alternately, does anyone know of any work done on a read/WRITE MSDOS FST for the GS? If I could write Apple II files to a MSDOS format on the PCT it would be another way to do this.
Yes yes, I KNOW there are other solutions for cross platform: networking,
(Appletalk, COPS Talk, TOPS, Netatalk), null modem, ADT dsk transfer, and
other solutions, I have done all those.
If anyone else has been experimenting along similar lines and would like to
discuss, I am at your disposal.

I took out my PC Transporter years ago as it only had the 5.25" drive. I have the bludisk now from ///SHH. It takes several size drives and has
the software to translate. Also system 6.0.1 has the MSDOS file system translator so you can read files that are downloaded from the internet. Can't write with it though. If you don't have a way to read from floppies it's useless.
I have gone to a IOMEGA ZIP SCSI drive. A friend gives me PC formatted disks which I translate using MUG! to create Prodos files. This is a surprisingly quick and easy way to transfer very large volumes.
