Because of the Apple's radically nonstandard disk hardware, it is physically impossible to read an Apple formatted disk with standard IBM hardware. However, if you purchase the Central Point Software options board, it will give your computer the ability to convert Apple disks into IBM readable ones. The board is used along with its companion software called Copy II PC, which is also sold separately. In your case, the software without the board would be useless. -Douglas Pokorny (drp@vpent.chi.il.us)
