I don't know of such a driver, but you could create an HFS (not HFS+)
partition. That is how I transfer files between Mac OS 8.1 and Debian
woody running kernel 2.4.18. However I can't put a file >2GB on an HFS
partition. I'm not sure if this is an HFS limitation or a Mac OS 8.1
limitation, but I thought I should mention it. That shouldn't be a
problem though, just split the file into two parts and then reassemble
them in Linux.
