Floppy disk file systems

Does anybody know of a file system that works both under Digital UNIX
and SunOS; or is there an easier way to transfer files between these
systems (without using a network) ?

This case is about an Alpha 400 (D-UNIX V 3.2). The Alpha station is
not accesible by sending mail nor by remote operations. Still I need
to copy some data files to it from a Sun SPARC station 20.
I tried reading floppies containing the 4.2 file system on the Alpha;
which didn't work. Nor did reading ufs floppies on the Sun station.
(fsck complaints about BAD MAGIC NUMBER's.)

Would mtools be of any help ? (I don't have them installed (yet).)

Thanks,
