[comp.sys.mac] 5 1/4 inch DOS drive

bh11+@andrew.cmu.edu (Braddock John Hathaway) (01/17/90)

I would like to be able to use PC programs on my
macintosh (a Mac II) ... 

It looks like I'm going to go with SoftPC, which
makes the majority of my choice:  What drive to
buy?  I've been looking at the PLI TurboFloppy
as being the most likely candidate, but I'd like
to know if there is a cheaper alternative available
with a 5 1/4 inch drive (this is the kind of diskette
I'd prefer to use anyway).

Does anybody know of any?

Please, please email responses to me.  There is a
very good chance that I'll miss them if they are
posted.  The net will, as usual, get a summary in
two weeks time.

Thanks,

Brad

Apple Computer manufactures the "Apple PC 5.25 Drive" and appropiate NuBus
card for your Mac II.  If you upgrade to the SuperDrive (FDHD) the new version
of SoftPC can use that as drive A.
