Hi everyone,
I got recently my CFFA card and I am more than happy with it.
I had no problem to plug in a high speed 2GB Card and with the special
IIgs driver I can address all of it.

Now to my problem, I do not have a modern PC I use Apple products.
Is there anything like ciderpress where I can read and write the MMC
card directly from the Mac?
Right now I transfer .shk archives from the Mac via Ethernet to my
Macintosh and then via Apple talk too my IIgs.
Works flawless but is slow.
Plugging the MMC card into a cardreader on the Mac and dump the files
directly would be much nicer.



You might try using the CF as a "shared volume" in Bernie ][ The Rescue
(IIgs emulator)... not sure if any OSX-native emulators have that
feature.

You might also take a look at ADFS... I think there's an OSX version,
but I don't recall if it works with CF.
ADFS is a great tool and I use it a lot but you can only open volumes which are mounted. 

The whole point seems to be the mounting of the prodos formatted MMC.
As of the best of my knowledge OSX has no support for PRODOS but OS9 might has.(Have the dual core Macs still OS9 ?) 

I will try this night to do a UNIX mount and also try to mount it under OS9.

By the way, what about using X11?
Is there any Linux tool which can work on the Prodos MMC's ?

Thanks for the input at least I have something to try :-)
