Of course, there are lots of expensive 'hardware solutions to making these uncooperative beasts talk to one another, such as modems and network cards, but when it comes to the seemingly simple act of transferring the odd file via storage devices such as floppy disks, everything collapses into an archaic realm of incompatibility. Things aren't hopeless however, after all, !he Amiga is now on relatively good speaking terms with MSDOS PCs, being quite capable of reading and writing PC floppy disks, thus making the transfer of files quite easy between these two computers. But, hiding away in its own little world, doing its own little thing in its own little way is kr bench Screen ILI Text Trans I et 1011 I!EirictDisk Show Fi les b y 11111111111110111,11 r — --g In r tl - ea Ft se ; S e l o ( t - 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 t O D i Rae Hard Disks VII Conner Peripherals 841111 ??? sauirrelscsioleo ice ??? scsi.device ??? carddisk.device ??? ???.device Pet it ions Configure the Ent ire Disk ag aleOSsMAC 41- . 1 1 1 4 . 1 0 w h i m , m the Macintosh computer. Apple's little babies have always been a breed apart and it's when the average Amiga owner attempts to try and transfer files between these computers that they encounter an unscaleable wall with the words No trespassing. Apple employees only." This is mainly due to the fact that the Macintosh hie system is quite complex internally, and rightly so. This internal complexity is required to provide the end user with what is generally believed to be the most powerful, yet easy-to-use graphical user interface. INSPIRING Just look at all the window and icon-driven operating systems in use now, such as Windows on the PC and even the Amiga's Workbench, and you can see where their designers got their inspiration from.

Utilities are available for the Mac which enable it to read PC formatted disks. So, armed with the fact that an Amiga can format a PC disk, courtesy of the PCO: device driver found in the DOSDrivers drawer within the Devs drawer on most Amigas, a working, but potentially lengthy and arduous detour can be found around this wall. The problem is that in the somewhat questionable wisdom of the MSDOS operating system developers, they decided that filenames need never be more than eight characters long with a three letter extender, usually denoting filetype. This creates a problem when copying files between the Amiga and the Mac You see. the Amiga can safely handle 25 character filenames while the Mac toddles along nicely using up to 31. So, you can imagine the renaming session you will have to go through to get those filenames down to the eight character PC limit once on the PC disk, PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS Of course, you could just let the filenames be chopped off at the eighth character automatically when they are stored on the PC disk, but this has its problems. What, for instance, happens when you want to transfer 300 sequentially named animation files called FLYINGLOG0001. FLYINGLOG0002 and so on? I'll tell you what – chopping each ot these down to the poky PC eight characters gives you the filename FLYINGLO_GOO. Which means all 300 files will take on this name and 69
