I have a Macintosh with Apple 3.5" Superdrive (1.4Mb), running System
7.0.1 from the hard disk. Using "Apple File Exchange" [A.F.E] program, I
can read/write to 3.5" ProDOS, PC and Macintosh disks. Everytime, I copy
a ShrinkIt or 2MG disk image file to PC disk and load it onto Mac, it
does 'default translation' that is repeated when transferring from Mac
to ProDOS disk. Annoyingly, the 2MG files become bigger and refuses to
fit on ProDOS disk. I tried in vain to disable all translations, but the
program doesn't allow it.
I am sick of using null-modem cable to transfer those 800Kb files across
from my PC directly to Apple IIe. It would be much quicker, if disks
could be swapped between computers.
Is there any program that will read those disks without modifying files?
Or translators for A.F.E? Do I need to create my own translator and what
settings? Or System 7 extension to mount the disk drive to support
ProDOS and PC disks directly from Finder?
Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
