It is my eventual aim to have my Linux setup running a suite of DNA sequence
analysis programs for use by my research group. This is currently being done on
Macs used as terminals onto remote Unix boxes. Within six months we will have an
ethernet and I hope to connect the box up to the rest of the world! So now you
know the background, and here is the problem: We have huge amounts of data being
put onto Macintosh floppies, later uploaded (slowly!) to Unix machines. Ideally
I would love to be able to shove the mac disk into my PC and type
mount [blah blah] -t applemac
and copy them straight onto the Linux machine. Are there any plans afoot to
allow Linux to read Mac format disks?
