Hi Peter,

Mac OS includes a feature called PC Exchange (similar to CrossDOS on the Amiga), which gives the Macintosh read/write access to PC-formatted media, and Karl is probably familiar with it.

This should provide the means to read a FAT-formatted CF card, as long as Karl has adapters suitable for the Mac and Amiga.

When Karl reveals details of his Mac and Amiga machines, all should become clear.

Also, I remember a thread here on EAB from a while ago which discussed transferring data between a Mac and Amiga using a serial link. I'll see if I can find it and post a link.
