P.C.s won't read "MAC formatted disks", but you can format disks for the
P.C. environment right on the MAC and the MAC can read them as well. This
applies to all MACS from the SE30 onward. Consult your MAC manual on how to
do it.

Can anyone recommend protocols and reagents for enumeration of human CD34+
cells in cord blood, also in cytokine/factor stimulated cultured leucocytes
from
different sources. I am using a BD FACS Sort with a Mac (CellQuest
software),
and am a newcomer to this setup and FACS in general. In preliminary
experiments
I have used BD RPE-anti-CD34 and BD FITC-anti-CD45 - still playing around
with
settings - lots of questions, but getting fascinated. Is CD45 an optimal
marker
for total leucocyte detection - should I be going for a panel of
lineage-specific markers - any recommendations and advice on this would be
appreciated.
Also - I have years of experience with PC's (DOS, Windows) but am new to
Macs -
is there any way of saving files on Mac formatted discs then reading them in
PC's, and any PC software (especially downloadable shareware) for off-line
analysis of FACS data?? We may eventually have the Mac on a LAN with the
PC's,
but meantime what is the best way of getting the Mac data into a PC?
