If you don't mind investing some money, you could get an X-Surf Zorro II ethernet card, and get a little network going. With Samba, you could get your Amiga drives to appear as network drives on your Mac and vice versa. You never know, you might end up using your Amiga for some things (its always handy to have another machine on the network).

Well, here is a link to where you can buy new X-Surfs:

Power Computing

Be warned that they cost a lot new (£80, about 20x the cost of the equivalent PCI card...), so your best bet might be to keep an eye out for a Zorro II network card second hand. Also, if you got a Highway USB card, I think there is an ethernet add-on module for it, and you'd get the bonus of a couple of USB ports on your amiga.
