1. Is it really possible to exchange files through a network between an Amiga and Mac OS ?
Definitely. OSX has an entire UNIX under the hood, so it has all the network options you'll ever need.
2. Which hardware and software are the most suitable for each option ? On the network side, Hodgkinson said in another thread that he was using a 3Com 3C589 network card with the drivers and the tool SMBFS from Aminet. But I still don't know if this tool will be compatible with Mac OS. On the card reader side, I see that Fat95 and CFD from Aminet are needed, but I still don't know if the Mac can handle an Amiga-compatible format, as I still haven't a suitable card reader for the Mac (I wouldn't buy one in the near future if I choose a networking solution).
OSX handles FAT filesystems just fine. After all, all cameras and USB sticks use FAT. Also, if you're happy with your serial cable, you can use a USB serial adaptor. I can recommend the ones by Keyspan, but stay away from Belkin.
When networking an Amiga with OSX, you can use either SMB or NFS. NFS might just work better, but I've never tried SMB myself.
