Is there any program out there to transfer files between Mac and Amiga via diskettes. I know already about the problem of the different rotation speeds of the Mac drives. But I think it must be possible, to write some tracks on a diskette, that are accessible by both machines.

A-Max comes with software to do this (both MAC and Amiga software). The Amiga disk can read approx. 277k of a MAC disk, so the software copies all relevant information into the universal areas, using up to three disks per Mac disk if necessary. The Amiga software will reassemble it into an A-Max format disk. But if you need to do a lot of transfers, and have access to a mac, you are probably better off with a serial cable & two terminal programs running at top speed. -- James A.
