The Translator One(tm) can read, write and format Mac(tm) disks. Depending on the particular floppy disk drive you are using there *may* be some limitations. With some drives the disks formatted by the Translator One are not writable on a real Mac, since the Mac always writes to a disk when it is inserted the Mac may crash the disk. Solution: either format the disk on a real Mac or write protect the disk before putting it into the Mac. Dan Moore AT&T Bell Labs Denver dlm@druhi.ATT.COM dlm@druwy.ATT.COM
