I am looking for a conversion kit that will allow me to read disks created on a
Mac Plus or later 
with the 3.5", 1.44 Mb drive on my 386. The problem is that I have a number of
documents 
created on a Mac using MS Word for the Mac that I would like to be able to read
directly off 
the original Macintosh diskettes into my copy of Word for Windows. I've been
told that there are card/software combinations out there will convert a 3.5"
AT-compatible drive to one that 
can read either DOS or Mac diskettes.

Can anyone help me with this? Are there such products? If so, what are they and
what experience have you had with them? 

I will combine and post whatever replies I get. 

Thanks.
