I'm having trouble copying a driver from the amiga side to the amax side with Amax-II File transfer & translator ver 2.0. It works fine on everything except the mac binaries. The error it gives me when I try to copy the driver is ...Error -10, Bad AmigaDOS block type. Any suggestions? BTW, I ftp'd the file from a mac II fx to an hp and then down loaded it to my amiga. I tried this after copying the driver onto an ibm disc and using crossdos to get it to an Amigados disk, which gave me the same error when it tried to get it across to the amax side. Please no wise asses suggesting I buy a mac drive. I am trying to use macintosh formatted bernoullis intead. If I can ever get the #$%#@!$ driver into my system folder. My next attack is to use Versaterm inside the mac to download the driver directly into the mac world. Thanks in advance, J.P.

JP., I have gotten the best results by converting the Mac stuff to ascii (use BinHqx). Then transfer the files using TEXT option. This has worked well for me. If you have access to an account, upload the driver and download it from A-MaxII. -Rich -- // Rich | "If there is nothing wrong with me, then maybe there is \X/ Andrews | something wrong with the universe." - Beverly

Since Stuffit archives only occupy the data fork, you can get away with this: Mac -> IBM -> Amiga -> AMAX This way you don't get the file becoming outrageously large which can happen with 'BinHex'. Works perfectly for me. |>If you have access to an account, upload the driver and download it |>from A-MaxII. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If you're using a mainframe accound, you're stuck with uploading an outrageously large binhex file and then downloading it again to AMAX. I did this for a while but when AMAXII came out with the transfer software, I use the mac>ibm>Amiga>AMAX method and it works every time. |>-Rich Kris +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Kriston J.
