first of all, it needs to be a windows-formatted disc. this is no
problem, since macs have always been able to mount windows-formatted
discs. just pop that disc in there, and copy over your file. you
should also make sure you name it using the 8.3 format - 8 characters
for the filename and 3 characters for the file extension, like
"freehand.fh5" or whatever. better safe than sorry.
