- The Mac File System for the Amiga
-
- CrossMAC is an Amiga software product allowing you to read and write
- Mac formatted disks directly from Amiga. It fully integrates itself
- into the Amiga operating system allowing your Mac formatted disks to
- be accessed from virtually any utility or application.
-
- A properly configured CrossMAC device will allow you to access any
- file on an Mac formatted disk from any Amiga application. Imagine
- creating a TIFF graphics file on your Mac and bringing it over to your
- Amiga to convert it to IFF graphics. Other file types that can be
- exchanged include databases, spreadsheets, language compilers and CAD
- programs, to name a few.
