I use my Apple 3.5 Drive hooked up to a TransDrive off of my PCTransporter all the time! Works great for me, and I can shuttle the disks back and forth to work. For now, the PCT is the easiest option for accessing files on a MS-DOS 3.5" disk. When and if Apple decides to upgrade the IIgs to use a SWIM chip and a 1.44MB drive, then a better solution will be available. Laer lhaider@pro-sol.cts.com
