Re: GS <==> PC Hookup

Not really a reply to this question, but another question this one raises.

If I have the MSDOS read only FST on my IIgs, can I download Apple II files
from the internet via my windoze machine onto its Zip drive, then put that Zip
disk to my IIgs Zip drive, then copy the files to an Apple formated drive to
unshrink them?

I've used the modem to modem way before, but thought this way might be faster??
