Not having an Amiga, I can't promise that this works (I haven't tried it myself). Try ftp://ftp.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/system/Filesystems/jb-affs-1.0.tar.gz which is supposed to support Amiga's file system. > I have a buddy with a Mac.

If you want to do it over the network, the new kernels support AppleTalk, and there are even packages to let your linux box be a file server over AppleTalk. Look at http://thehamptons.com/atalk.html for more details. If you have Mac floppies or a Mac drive that you actually want to use on your computer, there are both ftp://ftp.cc.gatech.edu/pub/linux/utils/disk-management/hfs0_36.tgz and ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/ALPHA/hfs/ for a kernel module. I believe there is also something with read-write support out there, but I can't seem to locate it right now. later, chris Chris Ricker : gt1355b@prism.gatech.edu : The Georgia Institute o' Technology
