AccessPC Review

AccessPC is a single purpose utility that sits in the
background and allows you to mount MS-DOS disks on the
Macintosh desktop (assuming of course, that you have a
drive that can read and write MS-DOS disks). AccessPC
is about as transparent as possible and is much faster
than DOS Mounter 1.0. You even get the extra bonus of
being able to mount SoftPC hard disk documents as
volumes, which makes for much easier transfer of files
in and out.

I agree with this review.  I work at a Boston Area service bureau and
Access PC is on my list of "Programs that really make job easy to do" 
Especially the new version which lets me access ms dos formatted removables

One followup comment.  When using this INIT, Apple File Exchange will not
recognize the MS-DOS floppy disk.  The file(s) must be copied off first to use 
AFE.  That is the only complaint that I have.  A real irritation in my 
opinion, but it's still a quality product otherwise.
