It seems to me that it wasn't that easy when I had to do it, but I forget why. (then again, it could be that I didn't get that drive until later, but I don't think so. I ended up copying from the Classic to disk (in MS format?), and then I think I had to boot my FreeBSD machine off of a linux installation to read that, and I want to say it then went onto a USB zip disk which then went to the mac. Fortunately, it was just a few files. I think that was also the last time I booted the FreeBSD machine. Ahh, now I see: the USB floppy is physically mounted *in* the freebsd machine . . . -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
