Re: IIe -> mac data transfer

[IIe card]

drat. yeah.. that would require me to find both the card and a mac 
capable of using it.

now, this is the area I'm not sure about. when I stick in a disk and 
type CATALOG, it lists these as text... but I don't know how to tell 
what *type* of text, or what program wrote it. can anyone give me some 
pointers here? I dont' even know how to read these files properly... I 
dicked around a little and found some text utility on the main system 
disks, but it doesnt' seem to want to read the entire contents of some 
of the files.

no, I'm really not comfortable doing that... he had journals and other 
stuff Idont' think is fair to give out. again, thanks on behalf for the 
offer though.

I may still take you up on that sometime... 

the thing is, I have plenty of time but I'm a cheapskate when it comes 
to stuff like this :)   I KNOW he got the files off this thing with 
what's in there, so I'm reluctant to spend any money buying parts when 
it shoudl be possible to do it for free.


>I'm trying to help you out here.

and I appreciate it, believe me :)  I'd just rather you sell the card to 
someone who really needs it, as opposed to me who'll be using it for 
maybe 2 hours.
