[G4] flash drive question (again)

[MegaSTMac at aol.com]

<< IMHO, your problem arose because you were trying to transfer files  
from a OS-9 machine to a OS-X machine without having saved those  
files in OS-X format in the first instance. OS-X looks for  
information in the file identification that OS-9 never heard of and  
can't put in. >>

Could you elaborate, please? I move and or open OS9 files in 10.3.9 all the 
time with no confusion at all. I've done that within the same machine, via CD's 
as well as flash drives and compact flash cards.
