Re: 5.25 Drive to a Mac?

["william strutts" <wrstrutts1@home.com>]

Copy the files to a Prodos 3.5 inch format disk and
let the Mac do the conversion.  That is assuming of course
that the make has an 800k disk.  The Mac Plus I used
to own could read Prodos formatted disk.  If it is
an iMac, I don't think that will work anymore.  The
other method would be to get a null modem connection
between the Mac and the IIc and use terminal software
to copy the files across.  The mac uses a special connector
and I would assume the IIc has a 25-pin serial.   I don't
know if the IIc supported the Super Serial card and
if you had Modem/terminal settings.  If it does, set the
serial for Terminal and you don't need a null modem
connection.  I have a IIgs and a PC and that is how I
transfer files between them.  I would recommend getting
File2Disk as it would allow you to make snapshots of
your floppies.  It is available for download on a lot of
the Apple II FTP sites.
