Let's say I have a Mac SE with 2 floppies and a PC/AT clone that
supports 3.5 inch disks. I get a hard disk for my Mac and don't need
both floppy disks in the Mac anymore. Can I move one of the floppies
from the Mac to the PC/AT? Any thoughts on this matter would be
appreciated.

There exists a PC (half) board to interface an external Apple floppy drive to a PC. See my posting "MS-DOS floppies on a Mac Plus" in comp.sys.mac. Perhaps this can be made to work for an internal one too. See an ad in a recent issue of Byte (mail if you want to know the number).

Why not hang on to both floppy drives? It makes disk copying *much* easier. I often wish I had another floppy drive. -- Geoff Allen \ WINCO doesn't believe in Macs, {uunet|bigtex}!pmafire!geoff \ so of course these are my views. ucdavis!egg-id!pmafire!geoff \
