RE: Macintosh formatted FD's usable in Debian?
Interestingly, I was googling all over the place and I found that if you
want a dual boot debian/macos machine (like me!), and you want to transfer
files between the 2 OSes, you should probably use a windows (fat) partition.
And here you are, doing almost the same thing.
There might be a future for windows, after all.

Hi,
Hfsutils does the job! I have managed to transfer a file from the Linux box
to the Mac using a floppy and from one word processor to another without
even loosing the formatting of the text (!). That's just what I was looking
for. And it's even easy to do.
I was thinking of using DOS formatted disks in the first place but Old Mac
(OS D1-7.1) doesn't seem to know about the DOS disk format yet.
I could have found out about hfsutils myself if I had searched apt more
closely...hm...
Thanks for your fast and helpful responses.
Toku
