Well they do make stargate for both pcs and macs.
I know they do. I wasn't able to get a Mac version of Stuff it over there, either.

I guess what I'm saying is any Mac formatted floppy becomes a dos disk as far as the Mac is concerned as soon as I put a file on it with the PC, even though it hasn't been reformatted and the files I'm putting on it are Mac files.

The problem is that as soon as I save the .hqx version or an unzipped version (since I couldn't get Stuffit installed, either) to either PC or a floppy, the 150 sees the floppy and files on it as Dos and requires PC exchange. PC exchange seems to only work with text files so far.

I may play with it again someday but right now I'm done with it. I can still transfer the text files and that's all I need-- just thought it would be nice to get rid of the floppies. :)
