Re: Still need help: Apple II <-> Macintosh

[deven@MCS.COM (DEVEN ATKINSON)]

Make sure that any disk you are using to perform the transfers is formatted
in the Apple //e 3.5 drive.  Otherwises the files on the disk will have
resource-forks and will cause ProDos 8 to have a problem with them.

There is a disk that Steve Cavinah offers that has terminal software and
other communication tools like Shrinkit and I think BinScii.  I do not have
his information handy, but I am sure it is in the FAQ.
