Does anyone
here know how I can transfer downloaded files from my PC to my
newly acquired Mac by floppy disk.. ?
Any help greatly appreciated..
Phil...
to be aware of, I think you need the 1.44Mb floppy to
be able to read FAT
floppies, don't think that works with 800k floppies.
The Mac I just got is a "Macintosh Classic II" , and I think it has a 1.44
floppy
drive.. It has System 7.1 OS also..
So I will ask again if someone knows how I can teach the Mac to read floppys
from my PC,
and also the reverse..
I will be downloading software and files from the internet to my PC, and
then I need to
put them on the Mac Via Floppy disk..
Can anyone help?

There is a shareware program called Transmac. Search for yahoo on it, and
it will show up. I use it for the same thing, it's great. Or. You can
email it to your mac as well, I did that for a while.
you will have to use 720k floppies I think, easy enough to tape over the HD
hole and format it 720. If you need to transfer and a 720 wont do it, I
have enough hardware to get it done, since I use I IIfx as an appletalk
gateway over TCPIP.

That's only if you need an 800k Mac disk as in the first SE and earlier
madels. Transmac will do the trick, altho Macdisk has more bells and whistles.
and IIRC the registered version will also do 800 k.
Just dug this out:

Yes the Classic II does have a 1.44 fdd. Should be no problem.
There's a number of programs that will do this. "Transmac" and
"MacDisk" come
to mind. Both shareware. The real challenge is to get stuff on to the 800 or
400 k macs when you dont have access to another Mac with a Superdisk.
