I do this all the time at work, but am not sure I recall the software that
permits it. I think it is "MacLink Plus/PC Connect". Can someone confirm or
correct? Anyway, there definitely is software available that will let you
mount Mac disks on the PC desktop, and even format disks on a PC in Mac
format. Wish I were at work to check on it! Or it could be Conversions
Plus. I know that with both of these and with PCMacLAN on a PC, and with MS
Office 98 on the Mac, we've had no problems with reading files or disks at
all.
