I could be wrong Aaron but ISTR the older Mac's had a variable speed floppy 
drive that they used to put more data in the outer tracks by slowing it down.  
I recall when I was running an amiga that interchange with a mac wasn't 
possible because of that.

But I could be wrong, good luck.  Until then, can you setup a serial port and 
cable and use something like zmodem to move stuff?
