I don't understand why you want this. A/UX 2.0.x reads Mac floppies
just fine. I am able to copy unix files onto such a floppy and read
them on a Mac. Or am I missing something here?

Yes, you don't account for my un-grasp of your language :-)
What I meant was that cpio -> disk from A/UX to MacOS would be
nice (if you could read it back...) The other way would gain too,
since you wouldn't have to worry about changing creators to
avoid corruption of compressed files. Archival of larger-than-a-
disk files would be snappier too.
And you wouldn't have to go through finder or fire up the mac
envmt. :-)
Happy hacking,
