Listen little boy, watch your language. I have been helping users around the
Internet since 1988, and have never been wrong. I have been several times
misunderstood, tough...

As you know most controllers are MFM/FM.

It has nothing to do... The apple II controller is not compatible with
IBM floppies, but it has nothing to do with the subject. We are talking
about FDC chips. Get your facts straight.

WHERE DID I SAY TIMEX/SINCLAIR??? i said sinclair, a portable computer
based on the motorola 68000. They had 3.5" floppies.

FYI, i have 2 macs, several IBMs (from XT to 386-33), 1 apple iie (i also had
a ii+ and lots of collectionnable items like PDP, DEC (even a COCO).
And yes my latest IBM was a bit overpaid because i had to buy it from a
University Coop in 1989 (the 386-33). The same thing applies for the Apple II
and Macs. As for keyboards, you can come anytime to Montreal and i'll show
you that i can read my Ensoniq EPS16+ with my IBM. 
I'm also looking at Oberheim and
Emulator II floppies to be read by the IBM. 

(And my daddy as you put it prefers Macintosh to IBMs...)

Respect. Ask first, then flame. Not the contrary.
