Scott, 1. There shouldn't be a problem if you format the ZIP cartridges on the Mac using PC Exchange, then they should be readable in the PC as well as the Mac. Be careful with the PC utilities to format the ZIP cartridges, as some of them might format the disk a way that makes it unreadable on the Mac (using PC exchange). I still don't know why this is the case but I had this problem a couple of times (mainly using Windows 95) 2. Make sure that you transfer the files using FACSnet in BINARY mode, otherwise your data will be lost. 3. Why don't you connect the Mac directly to the FACScan and transfer the files from the HP to the Mac (ZIP on the Mac for backup) using FACSNet ? There are freeware utilites like Fetch that allow easy transfer from the HP FACScan to the MAC once you have FACSNet running on the HP in Server mode. Let me know if you need more details on this.
