Re: IIgs files from PC

["Stephen Pope" <stephen_pope@pacific.net.au>]

Just a query as well, xhfs on Linux, what distribution is that under?
Now, this is a guess, if you could clarify it, that you have an external
scsi zip drive, and you have plugged it in to the scsi card
on the IIgs, and then into the PC.
What drivers/software do I need to make the zip drive work on the IIgs? Or
will it auto-detect it? And, how do I get a zip drive
working under linux, or is it the same situation?
I appreciate any help I can get, I have been trying for ages to get this
working!
