Since you already have FACSnet running on the HP computer, the simplest =
method would be to simply make a connection to the Mac and transfer =
files directly. (Details would depend on the local network =
configuration.) Out of the box, the current version of the Mac is ready =
for network transfers via TCP/IP. Another removable storage device =
could be added to the Mac, or, depending on the network, transfer to =
the removable disk on the Gateway via ftp. (Note: in order to run =
CellQuest you will need to convert all the flow data files to a form =
that program can read. It would seem best to save the data files in =
the converted form.)

To the list,
Here's my problem! We are using an older FACScan (in clinical
department) which is FACSnetted to a Gateway 2000 computer. A Zip =
drive
is being hooked up to the Gateway which will be used to backup listmode
files. What we would like to do is add a Zip drive to a PowerMac and =
do
our analyses on it using CellQuest. Basically this is going from a PC
to a Mac (I already have HPtoMac, courtesy of Soft Flow). My question
is, is this doable? Are there translators available to make this
feasible? Should I save my money (and my sanity)?
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
Scott
