I'd kind of hoped the 800k external Mac drive could do that but it won't.

Dammit :) I'd kind of hoped there was some Apple ][ flavour of a program
like TransMac - read/write Mac disks on a PC. To get a null modem connection
going though I need some sort of operating environment on the GS. Varying
experiments with keypresses at powerup have got me into the control panel
but that's about it. Is it possible to boot to BASIC? It must be since the
ROM has Micro$oft written on it :)

And you *could* get HDs for them too; can't remember their product
designation OTTOMH but a swift look at the Atari Historical Society should
tell you. Maybe it was a Falcon!
