The bad thing is that i dont have a PC that has a 3.5" drive in
it. 

the way i can try to do that is somehow convert the image using a
emulator (what emulator do you recommend) i do have activeGS, then
upload that to a file host in a .zip form. and download it onto my
Performa 475.

the thing is i need a way to get the converted image off my PC and
onto my 68k Mac.

i need to work on the steps of how to make sure that i can unstuff the
zip file that the PC makes so that the Mac that is running OS 7.6.1
can use. and find a file host that wont bork up the file.

i do have a few tools that will work with .2mg files (ciderpress) and
can convert them. i wonder what format (that ciderpress can convert
to) would be best.

Thanks for the help so far.
