Reply to: RE>>8 inch Floppies You might use something as simple as a MODEM hookup between the two computers, if the 8" has communications software to handle it. The 3.5" system's hardware is readily available for MAC and PC, depending on the desired output format. Let the comm software handle the handshaking, file management, etc. without writing "special" code to do the job.

Does anyone know who can do this? Your question lacks a few details, but I assume that the 8" floppy is a non-MSDOS format, and the 3.5" disk is (most probably) a DOS/Windows format. If your computers are networked, then this is just a matter of ftp'ing it between the 2 computers. If you are not networked, then the only other way I know is to wire a serial link between your two computers and transfer the file via the serial link. This will require that you have software to handle the transfer on both computers. Good luck, -Luke- -- Luke B.
