This presumes that the Mac's drive can recognize a ProDOS
formatted disk.  This is not always the case.  If it
is not the case, your route starts looking a lot like the
PC's.

Personally, when doing SneakerNet between Macs and my IIgs,
I use an HFS formatted disk, which my IIgs can now recognize.
(In the days before the HFS driver, it was also a lot harder
to find a Mac which could read ProDOS.  Ironic, eh?)
