1. You can transvert Atari -> Mac and vice versa using RS232.
2. You can use MS-DOS Disks in 720K Mode using Access PC or DOS Mounter under
   Spectre, it works very well.
3. You can use Mac 720K Disks. It's not a joke, it works! Apple distribute a
   Programm with System and Finder, it's called Transverter(?) I think. In
   German its called "Dateien konvertieren". If it is running and you put an
   unformatted Disk into the diskdrive an alertbox apears on the screen. You
   can see there 3 entries like Mac 800K (standart Mac), Apple Prodos (Apple 2)
   and Mac 720K (disabled). When you click with your mouse onto the Disk-Icon
   in the alertbox, the Mac 720K mode is magically enabled. Then you can format
   your Disk as Mac 720K (even under Spectre!). But not all Macs esspecially
   old Mac Plus like this special Format. Newer Macs shouldn't have any
   problems with these disks.

Tschau,

     Martin
