You know what's cool?  I have a Zip drive on my GS, and I have a Zip drive
in my PC.  I can transfer files by sticking a prodos formatted Zip disk in
my PC and use CiderPress to copy back and forth...




     Could you go into more detail about the process?


I use a flash card in CFFA, do a block copy of a hard drive partition
to a CFFA partition, carry the flash card to my PC, insert it in a
flash card reader, and use CiderPress to mount it and copy it to
my emulated hard drive partition on the PC.

Once on the PC, backups to CDRs, etc, are trivial.

The same dance works fine for 1.44MB 3.5" floppies with a Superdrive
and controller on the Apple II.

CiderPress has revolutionized the way that I transfer files between
the Apple and the world.  (Thanks, Andy!  ;-)
