Yes my Performa 475 has a superdisk floppy drive. But NONE of my other
computers (excluding my IIgs) have a 3.5" drive in them.

that's why i have to use a http file host to transfer files from my
Windows PC to my 68k Mac, or just download them with the Mac from the
site i want to get the file from (if i don't have to convert them like
i do with a 2mf disk image). It could be the browsers causing the
issue as well.

I have a bunch of .dsk (resulting from ciderpress conversions, or
downloading from a FTP) files on my Mac that i cant seem to get
anything to see. maybe if i use PRoDOSifier to try to fix the
filetype they might work but i do not know what filetype to set for a
.dsk.

Didn't Antoine just release a utility for mounting .dsk files on
a IIgs?
