Has anyone used the Apple File Exchange utility to read & write 3.5 " disks in the format acceptable to the IBM PS/2 series using the Mac's internal disk drive ? The copy of Apple File Exchange I have seen appeared to require a configuration-type file to support Mac-to-DOS transfers. There was a file for Mac-to-Mac transfer, but not one for Mac-to-DOS. Anyone done Mac-to-DOS (DOS-to-Mac) this way? Please tell me how you did it !! thanks brucec (Bruce Cheney Tektronix/TriQuint Semi. Beaverton, OR)

The only Non-Mac disks you can read with the Mac internal drive is 3.5" ProDOS disks from the Apple II Unidisks. PS/2's are a different density or something. Apple provides Mac <-> MS-DOS transfers using the PCDrive, a 5.25" drive that Apple makes which connects to the Mac and reads Messy-DOS disks. I'm sure some smart young Egr. will figure a way to get the Mac drive to read the PS/2's. The format can't be THAT far off. - Andrew > >thanks Sure. > >brucec (Bruce Cheney Tektronix/TriQuint Semi.
