I second that. If you can feed the 5.25" floppy into a IIgs, then
dump the data onto a 3.5" floppy, from what I understand most any
midrange Mac should be happy to read it (I'm not sure about the
G3's or later). You can then format a dos floppy on the Mac and
dump it there.
Once, long ago, I had a mailing list in an AmigaDOS database that
needed to get to a guy who was MS-DOS only. IIRC, we used a
null modem cable on the serial ports, and he fired up a terminal
program while I "printed" out to the serial port. Worked just ducky.
Really hated to send my nice, happy AmigaDOS data into that
godforsaken environment, though.... ;o)
Good luck.

Have person
that needs to get his two books that he wrote off of his IIe
and onto a PC. What's the best method for this ? Thanks John Keys
What format is the data in? Moving the files over a serial cable is
probably the easiest. I think you'll need a Super Serial Card. If you've
got a Apple //gs, and a 68k based Mac with a 1.44Mb floppy you should be
able to copy it to 3.5" floppy and then copy it to the Mac's HD, at which
point you can then copy it to a PC Floppy.
