WinMDI reads CellQuest 1.x and CellQuest 3.x listmode files
directly (get WinMDI 2.3 if you haven't already). The only issue is getting
a common device. Here at Scripps we use network drives (Sun running CAP60
to emulate ethertalk and Samba to emulate NetBios), although occasionally
users will use a floppy diskette (1.44MB IBM format). With PC exchange on
your Macs they will read the PC IBM floppies just fine. Then, all you need to
do is put the floppy into the PC and copy over for WinMDI to read the data.
Regards,
Joe

Colleagues,
We are about to purchase a FACSCalibur and in the process are
going to change the entire facility from HP340's to PowerMac's.
We'll probably maintain one PC workstation but I'm hoping someone
can explain to me how I can enable user's to run newly acquired
data with CellQuest to be analyzed with a DOS based program like
WINMDI. I'm aware that the PowerMac can be obtained with a DOS
card that will permit running DOS based software but after
acquisition of listmode files on the MAC I assume they'll have
to be translated in some fashion before they can be read by WINMDI,
in much the same fashion as HP files had to be translated by
WHPPC or HPReader before analysis on a PC. Is this correct and
if so what software is available to do this? FACSConvert which
comes bundled on the machine is described as an HP to MAC product
which will be of little use to me since all our old data is
archived in PC format and will be maintained as such. Appreciate
any advice.
