Zip as Transport from PC to IIgs
Ya know, I inadvertantly "discovered" something last night on a plane trip
home while reading a copy of PC World Magazine. DataViz sells a product
called MacOpener 2000 for machines running Windows that actually allows you to
use all HFS formats, except for 400K/800K floppies, on your PC while running
Windows. This goes not only for reading the media but also writing and
formatting as well. Just for giggles I put a zip disk in my Parallel Port Zip
drive on my PC and formatted it HFS and then went down to CompUSA with some
money burning a hole in my pocket and bought a SCSI zip 250 drive. Lo and
behold the disk I formatted on my PC (and subsequently copied some of the //gs
software I downloaded to) actually worked on the //gs like a charm!
NOW, all I gotta do is figure out how to get Shrinkit on my //gs and I think I
am in business! And ideas? I've got the file downloaded as a "bin" type, but
not sure what to do with it now.
