Yeah, the Mac is useless when it comes to reading the floppies. 
Really, the only solution for now is to find a S-3000/2000 and load 
them and save them to a SCSI ZipDrive or hard drive. You then can 
hook that drive up to the Mac (or insert the ZipDisk) and make an 
image of it, then burn a CD of it using Toast. Then EXS will see that CD.

We would be happy to do this for you, contact me at garth@....
