Re: Transfering files to an Apple II GS without Mac or serial link

["Peter Watson" <paw77@N_O_hotmail_S_P_A_M.com>]

You do know there is software available to allow you read and write MS-DOS
disks directly on a GS, don't you?

Although originally written for floppy disks, most removable hard drives are
supported as well, such as Zip and SyQuest drives.

The most recent version is called MUG! (MSDOS Utilities Graphical !nterface)
which is written as an NDA so that it always available. The original MSDOS
Utilities were a set of text-based MSDOS-like utilities written to run under
IIgs command shells such as the ORCA shell, ProSel, GNO/ME, or at a pinch,
the minimal command shell that is included.

Both of these are available from just about any IIGS software site that I am
aware of. At a pinch, you can get them from me.

For shareware, the software works, and works well.
