I don't know of such a driver, but you could create an HFS (not HFS+) partition. That is how I transfer files between Mac OS 8.1 and Debian woody running kernel 2.4.18. However I can't put a file >2GB on an HFS partition. I'm not sure if this is an HFS limitation or a Mac OS 8.1 limitation, but I thought I should mention it. That shouldn't be a problem though, just split the file into two parts and then reassemble them in Linux.
