Reading mac disks

[Andrew Burt]

Arrrgh! It's never safe not to save anything. I know this came up,
I thought I even saved the answer...but I'll be damned if i can't find
it anywhere. Grr.

Anyway, s'pose I have a mac disk and want to read it on the Sun (even read it
on an IBM PC clone) -- what software do I want? Something akin to Mtools...

I thought the answer was something like "you can't read certain disks,
but for the others, use XXX"... What is the XXX I want?

Sorry to dredge it up again; an faq would be nice... (Whatever happened
to the sun-managers faq, anyway?)

I cannot remember the name of the software that you are looking for, but
I do know that there is a program to read and write DOS and Mac disks on
the Sun Catalyst 3 CD. But since I do not have it with me I cannot tell you
what the name of it is. Hope this helps!
