A few months ago, I noticed on one of the c.s.a.* newsgroups someone posting information about msparctools or something like that. Essentially, it allowed one to write out to the sparc floppy (/dev/fd0)? in MS-DOS format, from the Unix side. Anyway, I think he said it was available on some finnish site. Could someone direct me to a site that has this, or post it to me? It would be very useful, especially in combination with MSH -- no overnight downloads at an excrutiatingly slow 2400 baud rate.... Just write to /dev/fd0 on the sparc, and go home, and read in from MSH: on the amiga. Raja. I don't need no stinkin' .sig!
