- Hello,
-
- The Atari-based Mac emulator you mention is probably "Spectre GCR", which
- was able to do some real gymnastics with it's double-density floppy
- diskettes.
-
- The Atari used MS-DOS compatible formats for their floppy disks after TOS
- 1.4 (I think), so if you can write your files to a normal floppy, you
- shouldn't have any problems. If you can't do that, you will have to write
- the floppies as 800k (GCR) Mac, and take them to a SuperDrive Mac, which
- can read and write both the old Mac formats and the newer PC standard.
-
- Good Luck!
