I have a PC-AT clone (AGI 3000L) with a 3.5 inch drive and both a Mac SE and a Mac Plus. Is there an easy way to transfer files (ascii) between the pc and either Mac using 3.5 inch disks? Or, do I need one of those HD drives on the Mac (superfloppy)? If 3.5 disks won't work, what's the best other strategy? --marc -- Marc A.

It comes with the necessary software to read and write Mac disks on a p.c. It will work on either a high (1.4m) or low (720k) 3.5" drive. It will also copy Apple II, CPM, Amiga, Atari, and almost all copy protected pc disks too. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Geoffrey S.
