I pulled that out and found it wouldn't read past the second device in the SmartPort chain, so I rewrote the interface to use the new SmartPort interface. Now, it is very easy on my IIgs to use the conversion, and I always keep a few MFS disks around to save stuff on, when I'm working on a Mac. Easy conversions, right there, and it doesn't take up time on the Mac. The update includes (spacious and prob. unnecessary) error checking and removal of the two-device limit. Unfortunately, I haven't been in contact with the author, and I don't know if he would want modified copies of his program running around. Would anybody be interested in the fix? and is it OK for me to send it out? ________________________________________________________________________________ Scott Blackman, 103 Forbes College / Princeton University I have just discovered a proof of / blackman@phoenix.Princeton.EDU Fermat's Last Theorem!
