In reply to two messages:

jeff@sugen.sf.ca.us - Macintosh conversion

The CONSORT 32 Workstation, and upgraded CONSORT 30 Workstations,
can send data over Ethernet using the TCP/IP protocol (FTP). On the
HP, you'll need FACSNet from BD. On the Macintosh side, you can use
a variety of products...Intercon's TCP/Connect II, Fetch, or VersaTerm
Pro to name a few.

Gyorgy Lustyic (h1914lus@ella.hu) has written an application on the Mac
that will read HP diskettes in the Mac. I believe he is selling it at this
time.

Then of course, there's the dual-sneaker approach: use one of the available
packages (Oswego, Verity) on the IBM PC that read HP diskettes, copy the
files to the PC, then put them on a PC formatted diskette and use Apple
File Exchange on the Mac to read the PC diskette.
