In article <344.2788f84b@zodiac.rutgers.edu> you write: >Are any programs that enable one to easily read 3.5" floppies >formatted on a Macintosh in an IBM 3.5" disk drive? (Or programs that >enable a Macintosh to read IBM formatted disks)? > Any of the recent Macs (those intro'ed since the IIx) have a SuperDrive which reads either Mac or DOS disks. You can use Apple File Exchange to pull in data from the DOS side or write to DOS disks. Late model SE's also have the SuperDrive. Data Viz sells MacLink Plus, a collection of translation utilities that works in conjunction with Apple File Exchange to translate between common data file formats. It's a snap to use. If you don't have a recent Mac you can buy an add-on drive; the name "Kennect" comes to mind. Post over in comp.sys.mac.misc for more info on this. Don McGregor | "I..I blame society.
