Thanks.  :)

I downloaded Transmac last night and installed it on my PC.  Now my PC
can read and write Mac formatted floppies.  Awesome.  NOW, I just need
to get the Mac to read IIGS formatted floppies.  Does anyone know why
a Mac SE with a Superdrive cannot read a ProDOS (version 1.7 or 1.8, I
think) formatted floppy from an Apple IIGS?  Again, the goal here is
to get text files off the IIGS to the PC using the Mac as an
intermediate step.
