The following is posted through a gateway to comp.sys.mac.apps,
comp.sys.mac.system, and comp.sys.mac.misc.  Since I can't do a
"normal" crosspost, this serves as warning: if you see an article
with the same subject/name and author as the one you are now 
reading, it is an identical post; you need not read it twice.

I received approximately 40 responses to my previous posting
entitled Mac to DOS-NEED HELP (or something like that).  That's
a tremendous response.  Thanks!

Virtually all folks said "Buy an FDHD drive."  Some added,
"and get PCAccess".  

One person suggested that I could do what I wanted (save
MSW 5 files as WordPerfect 5.1 DOS files) with my existing
equipment by formatting 800K diskettes as 720K DOS diskettes.
Not enough detail on this was given, but mail to that 
individual was returned by the demonic Daemon.

NEW QUESTION:

The Apple Upgrade to my Mac II would cost $400 through the
university.  An ad in MacUser (MacWarehouse ad) lists an 
"AE Superdrive" for only $219.  Can anyone tell me if the AE
drive would suffice?  I really don't have much money.  I also
want to know if I could save all the files either straight to
the DOS diskette, or maybe in a folder so that later I could 
transfer them all at once to the DOS floppy.  Finally, I think
I might have neglected to mention that I need to also provide
hardcopy.  Does anyone know a way to send all those files to
a Laserwriter Plus?  Do I have to first make them MS Word files
and send them one at a time? Or could I somehow "batch print"
them? even after they are saved in WP 5.1 DOS format?

Normally I save all reports in ONE MSW 5.0 document, and just
send that one document to print, then go have coffee.  I'm 
worried that if I have to type one report (some are shorter 
than a page, some are possibly 4-5 pages), then print, then
save as DOS WP 5.1, then transfer, etc., that I will lose so
much time that it isn't worth it.  Any ideas/experiences 
concerning this worry?  

Thanks again,
