Hi all. I am the owner of a IIGS and in macdom, a G5.
Back when I had a powermac 7500/100, both the Mac and IIGS were able
to read and write to the same physical floppy disks, so getting games
and files outta my IIGS and over to my mac was easy. And getting games
off the internet and over to my IIGS was also easy (and rather
miraculous-seeming). But then Macs stopped supporting floppies. Years
passed, and as far as I can see, the Mac and the IIGS are almost
strangers to each other now.
I've read about null modem cables, but most posts on this topic
archived on the net seem to be pretty ld. I'm asking in the here and
now - is there a way to use a cable or two to literally connect a G5
to a IIGS and have them swap files somehow? That's what I'd love to
do.
Off topic - I wrote an arcadey game for the apple 2 called Dragon, in
1995, at least one long level of it. I just put up a playthrough video
of it on Youtube today. If anyone's interested in seeing an
essentially unseen apple 2 game, have a look. I think it's decent ;)

And thanks for any help on the IIGS-Mac issue.
