Do any of you netters know a cheap solution to this problem? How
does one access the MILLIONS of 5.25" MS-DOS disks out there? The
cheapest solution seems to be the Dayna at $600! It is ridiculous
to spend that much when a WHOLE PC wiht hard disk and monitor can be bought
new for that amount!
It might be cheaper just to put a 3.5" in the MS-DOS machine, but that
only solves the problem for one machine.
ARE THERE ANY CHEAP 5.25" FLOPPY DRIVES FOR MACINTOSHES? I'd really
like to read those 1.2Meggers...
My wife would really appreciate an answer, and I'd like to justify the
Mac a bit more...
