I am interested in hearing from anyone that has experience in using the DaynaFile 5-1/4" 360K disk drive. I'd like to know if you are or aren't satisfied with it and why. I am setting up a Mac SE workstation and for various reasons wish to use disk to disk transfer in preference to AppleShare, TOPS, etc. Mainly because it will be transparent to the secretary already familiar with Word Perfect. The supervisor is already familiar with MacWrite and is more computer literate than his secretary. From the documentation I have read or hardware I have seen demoed: DaynaFile is much more transparent to the user since the files are actually acessible from the Finder, unlike the Apple PC 5-1/4" which needs the Apple translator program to see the 5-1/4" disk. Too bad the conversion program isn't a DA :-( DaynaFile will convert to and from MacWrite to Word Perfect format with one conversion, unlike Apple PC 5-1/4"s conversion program (straight from the box) which converts first to DCA format which in turn is convertable using the Word Perfect conversion utility.
